  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.

A popular classroom demonstration is to place a gas can on a burner and boil water in it. Left unchecked this has the potential
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

D) shrivel up, since the atmosphere exerts more force on the can as it cools.

Explanation:

As the water in the can is boiled the can gets heated up and contains hot vapour and gases which are rare in density and are in their expanded state. In this state when the can is sealed tightly such that no air leaks in or out of the can. When the temperature of the can drops, the gases shrink in volume and the pressure inside the can become less than the pressure of the atmosphere which leads to shriveling of the can.

The mass of a golf ball is 45.9
Tema [17]
The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is: 
<span>λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], </span>
<span>where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: </span>
<span>λ = h/mv. </span>
<span>Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): </span>
<span>λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.</span>
