A Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at 620 k takes in 550 J of heat at this temperature in each cycle and gives
yarga [219]

Answer:

(a) W=217 J

(b) Tc=378K

(c) e=0.39=39%

Explanation:

For part (a)

We to calculate the mechanical work W the engine  does. By knowing QC and QH can obtain the work using equation  

W = IQHI — IQcl  .....................eq(1)

Put given values for QH and QC into equation (1) to get  

the mechanical work of the engine  

W = 550 - 335  

W=217 J

For part (b)

We want to determine the temperature of low temperature  reservoir which means Tc  

IQc|/|Qh| =TC/TH  

for Tc  

Tc=(IQc|/|Qh|)*TH

Now we can put values

Tc= 620K  (335/ 550.1)  

Tc=378K  

For part (c)

Here we want to find the thermal efficiency (e) of the cycle

e=1-TC/TH

e=1-(378/620)

e=0.39=39%

(I) A novice skier, starting from rest, slides down an icy frictionless 8.0° incline whose vertical height is 105 m. How fast is
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v = 45.37 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

angle of inclination = 8.0°

Vertical height, H  = 105 m

Initial K.E. = 0 J

Initial P.E. = m g H

Final PE = 0 J

Final KE = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Using Conservation of energy

KE_i + PE_i + KE_f + PE_f

0 + m g H = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0

v = \sqrt{2gH}

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 105}

v = 45.37 m/s

Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s

At its closest point, Mercury is approximately 46 million kilometers from the sun. What is this distance in AU?
alina1380 [7]
1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
               = 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11  AU
               =  3.0.74 / 100  = 0.0374 AU

Calculate the average speed (in km/h) of a car stuck in traffic that drives 12 kilometers in 2 hours.
Vilka [71]
This is a trick question, isn't it? If a car is stuck in traffic, it doesn't matter how fast it can travel, because it isn't moving at all. Therefore the average speed would be zero, right?
