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.

<h3>What is simple pendulum?</h3>

A simple pendulum can be defined as the equipment that displays an oscillatory motion when a mass is tied on a rope and is suspended from it.

The various movements that occur using a simple pendulum is translational ( side to side) or continuous circle (oscillatory motion).

The equation that show that a change from one type of motion to another is H = 2g/l.

What is the relationship between the mass of the objects and the force exerted?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity. This force is proportional to the mass of the two interacting objects, and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The factors G, M, and r are the same for all masses at the surface of the Earth.

An object at rest starts accelerating.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

<u>We are given: </u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

<u>Solving for 'a'</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²
