A Carnot engine operates with an efficiency of 26.0% when the temperature of its cold reservoir is 281 K. Assuming that the temp

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

Explanation:

In first case we have given efficiency of Carnot engine = 26 % = 0.26

Temperature of cold reservoir $T_L=281K$

We know that efficiency of Carnot engine is given by

$\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}$

$0.26 =1-\frac{281}{T_H}$

$T_H=379.72K$

For second Carnot engine efficiency is given as 35% = 0.35

And temperature of hot reservoir is same so $T_H=379.72K$

So $0.35=1-\frac{T_L}{379.72}$

$T_L=246.818K$

So the temperature of cold reservoir should be 246.818 K for efficiency of 35%

A mass of 100 g stretches a spring 5 cm. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with a downward velocity of

Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of spring $m=100\ gm$

extension in spring $x=5\ cm$

downward velocity $v=70\ cm/s$

Position in undamped free vibration is given by

$u(t)=A\cos \omega _0t+B\sin \omega _0t$

where $\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}$

also $\frac{k}{m}=\frac{g}{L}$

$\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}=\frac{9.8}{0.05}$

$\omega _0=14$

$u(t)=A\cos(14t)+B\sin(14t)$

it is given

$u(0)=0$

$u'(0)=70\ cm/s$

substituting values we get

$A=0$

$u(t)=B\sin (14t)$

$u'(t)=14B\cos (14t)$

$70=14B$

$B=\frac{10}{2}$

$B=5$

$u(t)=5\sin (14t)$

Rather than ascribing the increased kinetic energy of the stone to the work of gravity, we now (when using potential energy rath

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.

What is the force of a object that has a mass of 7 kg and an acceleration of 6 m/s/s

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 7 kg

acceleration = 6 m/s²

We have

force = 7 × 6 = 42

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
