3. An engine’s fuel is heated to 2,000 K and the surrounding air is 300 K. Calculate the ideal efficiency of the engine. Hint: T

he efficiency (e) of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work (W) done by the engine to the input heat QH : e=W/QH. W=QH – QC, where Qc is the output heat. That is, e=1-Qc/QH =1-Tc/TH, where Tc for a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH for a temperature of the hot reservoir. The unit of temperature must be in Kelvin.

Answer: E = 0.85

Therefore the efficiency is: E = 0.85 or 85%

Explanation:

The efficiency (e) of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work (W) done by the engine to the input heat QH

E = W/QH.

W=QH – QC,

Where Qc is the output heat.

That is,

E=1 - Qc/QH

E =1 - Tc/TH

where Tc for a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH for a temperature of the hot reservoir.

Note: The unit of temperature must be in Kelvin.

Tc = 300K

TH = 2000K

Substituting the values of E, we have;

E = 1 - 300K/2000K

E = 1 - 0.15

E = 0.85

Therefore the efficiency is: E = 0.85 or 85%

Which of the following is an example of heat convection?
lora16 [44]
I believe it’s a liquid inside a beaker on a hot Bunsen burner (c)

This is because : Everyday Examples of Convection
Boiling water - The heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. Then, this hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion. Radiator - Puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.

Not sure if it’s right tho!

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s

Otrada [13]

Explanation:

The increase in the body temperature of pronghorn, the fastest North American animal, results from the chemical energy of the pronghorn converting into kinetic energy with efficiency less than 100%. The remaining energy is converted into heat energy. Thus, raising the temperature of pronghorn.

Due to the chemical energy it gains both kinetic and heat energy.

Which force is represented by the arrow at
shutvik [7]

A is pulling the block straight down toward the center of the Earth, no matter what the slope of the plane may be. A is the force of gravity.

The directions of B and C both depend on the slope of the plane.

B is a force that's parallel to the plane, pulling the block UP the plane. B is the force of friction.

C is a force perpendicular to the plane, preventing the block from falling down through the plane. C is the normal force.
