  The heat taken to do the 10,000 J of work is 4081 J

<u>Explanation:</u>

The ratio of the temperature difference between the reservoirs and the temperature of the hot reservoir is termed as maximum thermal efficiency.

Maximum thermal efficiency is

                                                   1 - (Tc / Th).

where Tc represents the  absolute temperature of the cold reservoir

           Th represents the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir.

                                                    1 - (293/495) = 0.408  

If the input is 10,000 J, then 4081 J is used to do work.  The remaining 5919 J is rejected as heat into the air.

scZoUnD [109]
The correct option is (B) <span>Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is </span>shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.<span>

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock
Minchanka [31]
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1):  distance  = velocity times time <=> d = v*t    for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2):  velocity  = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3
