Answer:

There is no work done.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 10 kg

To find the work done?

In Physics, work done can be defined as the amount of energy transfered when an object or body is moved over a distance due to the action of an external force.

Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;

Work done = force * distance

$W = F * d$

Where,

W is the work done

F represents the force acting on a body.

d represents the distance covered by the body.

However, the weight suspended in the air by a strong cable does not move or experience any form of displacement. Therefore, there is no work done.

An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The answer is " $6\ \frac{m}{s}$ "

Explanation:

The formula for velocity:

$\to \overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}$

$=\frac{6}{1}\\\\=6\ \frac{m}{s}$

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²

Explanation:

The weight of an object is on the surface of earth is given by the following formula:

$W = mg$

where,

W = Weight of the object on surface of earth

m = mass of object

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = strength of gravity on the surface of earth

Similarly, the weight of the object on Jupiter will be given as:

$W_{x} = mg_{x}$

where,

Wₓ = Weight of the object on surface of Jupiter = 34.665 N

m = mass of object = 1.5 kg

gₓ = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter = strength of gravity on the surface of Jupiter = ?

Therefore,

$34.65 N = (1.5 kg)g_{x}$

$g_{x} = \frac{34.65 N}{1.5 kg}$

gₓ = 23.1 m/s²
