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

4 0

  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.

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.93-kg object is at +2.91 m, a 2.95-kg object is at +2.43 m, a 2.41-kg
Anna [14]

Answer:

0.958 m

Explanation:

So the total mass of the system is

M = 1.93 + 2.95 + 2.41 + 3.99 = 11.28  kg

let y be the distance from the center of mass to the origin. With the reference to the origin then we have the following equation

My = m_1y_1 + m_2y_2 +m_3y_3 + m_4y_4

11.28y = 1.93*2.91 + 2.95*2.43 + 2.41*0 + 3.99*(-0.496) = 10.806

y = \frac{10.806}{11.28} = 0.958 m

So the center of mass is 0.958 m from the origin

Considere que helicóptero para na altitude a que voava para largar uma caixa de 90 kg para o solo.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

El peso es de 882 newton.

Explicación:

El helicóptero se detiene a la altura en la que volaba para dejar caer una caja de 90 kg al suelo, el peso de la caja llega hasta los 882 Newton porque el peso es una fuerza dirigida hacia el centro de la tierra y depende de la gravedad. La fórmula del peso es multiplicar la masa por la gravedad, de modo que cuando se multiplican 90 kg de masa por 9,8 metros / seg2, obtenemos el peso del objeto que es 882 newton.

A billiard ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the collision, the original ball moves at a ve
SIZIF [17.4K]

90 degrees - 30 = 60 degrees

Velocity = (5m/s - 4.35m/s x cos(30)) / cos(60)

Velocity = 2.47 m/s

The answer is D) 2.47 m/s at 61.9 degrees

An element is made up of?
valentina_108 [34]
When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements are made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure"
