A heat engine has a cold reservoir of 250°C and a hot reservoir of 715°C. What is the efficiency of the engine?

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.

mina [271]

The acceleration is 2.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

This is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), therefore we can apply the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the scooter in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v = 10.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 4.0 s is the time interval

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{10-0}{4}=2.5 m/s^2

DanielleElmas [232]
<span>Answer: So it gets to the top of the ramp and stops. The parallel force pushing it down the ramp is mg sin θ, but for it to move, the frictional force must be overcome. This frictional force is μmg cos θ, where μ is the coefficient of static friction. For movement, then, mg sin θ > μmg cos θ ==> tan θ > μ ==> θ > arctan 0.5 = 26.565° ==> θ = 27°</span>

I have my exam monday I need some help!
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and filling in:

2.5=\frac{v}{2.0} so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

533.33 nm

Explanation:

Since dsinθ = mλ  for each slit, where m = order of slit and λ = wavelength of light. Let m' = 10 th order fringe of the first slit of wavelength of light, λ = 640 nm and m"= 12 th order fringe of the second slight of wavelength of light, λ'.

Since the fringes coincide,

m'λ = m"λ'

λ' = m'λ/m"

= 10 × 640 nm/12

= 6400 nm/12

= 533.33 nm

Magnetic fields exist
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Magnetic fields exist near a magnet, farther away from a magnet, and within a magnet.

So, the answer is D. All of the above.

Let me know if this helps!
