A car engine burns gas at 495 K, and exhausts to the air at 293 K. If it ran at the highest possible efficiency, how much input

heat would it take to do 10,000 J of work? (Unit=J)

  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.

Two samples of water are mixed together.
horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x)            Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x)                          Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x                                  Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x             Combine like terms  

2x = 150                                               Divide by 2

x = 75

A

What are the forces that act on the ball?​
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

This slide shows the three forces that act on a baseball in flight. The forces are the weight, drag, and lift. Lift and drag are actually two components of a single aerodynamic force acting on the ball. Drag acts in a direction opposite to the motion, and lift acts perpendicular to the motion
