If the heat engine is a perfect carnot cycle engine, then
efficiency = (T2-T1)/T2  
where T1=temperature of cold reservoir ( ° K) = 250+273.15 = 523.15
           T2=temperature of hot reservoir ( ° K)  = 715+273.15 = 988.15

Therefore
efficiency = (T2-T1)/T2 = (988.15-523.15)/988.15 = 0.4706 = 47% 

Note: this is the theoretical maximum efficiency of a perfect heat engine.  Real-life engines do not achieve this value.

A water skier lets go of the tow rope upon leaving the end ofa
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1.35m

Explanation:

At the highest point of the jump, the vertical speed of the skier should be 0. So the 13m/s speed is horizontal, this speed stays the same from the jumping point to the highest point. The 14m/s speed at jumping point is the combination of both vertical and horizontal speeds.

The vertical speed at the jumping point can be computed:

v_v^2 + v_h^2 = v^2

v_v^2 + 13^2 = 14^2

v_v^2 = 196 - 169 = 27

v_v = \sqrt{27} = 5.2 m/s

When the skier jumps to the its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy:

E_p = E_k

mgh = mv_v^2/2

where m is the skier mass and h is the vertical distance traveled, v_v is the vertical velocity at jumping point, and h is the highest point.

Let g = 10m/s2

We can divide both sides of the equation by m:

gh = v_v^2/2

h = \frac{v_v^2}{2g} = \frac{27}{2*10} = 1.35 m

The area vector of a square loop of 5 turns of a conductor each with side length of 0.2 m carrying a current of 2 A is antiparal
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

M= 0.4 Am^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of turns  N=5N=5

Conductor each with side length L=0.2m

Current I=2A

Magnetic field  B=50.0T

Generally the equation for the total magnetic moment  M is mathematically given by

M = current * area

M= I * A

M = 2 * (5* 0.2*0.2)  

M = 2 * 0.2

M= 0.4 Am^2

Amy has a mass of 30 kg, and she is riding a skateboard traveling 5 m/s. What is her momentum
soldi70 [24.7K]
We Know, P = m*v
Here, m = 30 Kg
v = 5 m/s

Substitute it into the expression, 
P = 30*5 Kgm/s
P = 150 Kgm/s

So, your final answer is 150 Kg.m/s

Hope this helps!
