Answer:

Explanation:

When the puck is sliding on the ice, there is no force being exerted on the puck to keep it moving forward. Instead, inertia keeps the puck moving forward. Friction between the puck and the ice gradually slows the puck down. You hit a hockey puck and it slides across the ice at nearly a constant speed

In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

$\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}$

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

$\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

$\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}$

also,

$\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}$

$\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}$

thus,

$\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}$

$\eta=0.52$

Efficiency = 52%

When low on gasoline, is it better to increase or decrease the speed of the vehicle? Explain.

sergiy2304 [10]

Yeah!! It is better to decrease the speed of the vehicle so the ejection of gases would happen in slow manner.... then you can save your gasoline

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio

valentinak56 [21]

The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

Five different forces act on an object. Is it possible for the net force on the object to be zero?

bazaltina [42]

No because there must be an even # if their is an even amount one of the forces isn’t being cancelled
