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.

What causes the spiral structural in milky way?
Mrac [35]
The spiral structure of the milky way can be explained by long lived quasi-static density waves<em>, </em><em>according to the lin-shu hypothesis. </em>Curiously, the waves of higher density gas and stars (seen as spiral arms) appear to remain static as stars move around the galaxy. This explained by assuming that the gravitational disturbances cause by the 'clumping' material in the arms does not affect the gravitational field of the galaxy as whole and is therefore negligible.

Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction. Object 2 of mass 3 m moves with speed 4 v in the negative x-dir
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion e.g motion of an accelerating car. Mathematically,

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv² where;

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity of the object

If Object 1 of mass m moves with speed v in the positive direction, its kinetic energy will be expressed as;

K1 = 1/2mv²

For Object 2 of mass 3m moving with speed 4v in the negative x-direction, its kinetic energy can be expressed as;

K2 = 1/2(3m)(4v)²

K2 = 1/2(3m)(16v²)

K2 = (3m)(8v²)

K2 = 24mv²

To compare the kinetic energy of both bodies, we will take the ratio of K2:K1 to have;

K2/K1 = 24mv²/(1/2)mv²

K2/K1 = 24/(1/2)

K2/K1 = 48

K2 = 48K1

This means that the kinetic energy of second object is 48times that of the first object and moving in the negative x direction since the body of mass 3m initially moves in the negative x direction.
