Answer: e = 3.333% or 33 1/3%
^
repeated

Identify the given information.
Work input (Wi)= 600 K
Work output (Wo) = 200 K

Choose which formula you should use. In this case, you are finding efficiency.
e = (Wo/Wi) x 100%

Substitute and solve.
e = (200 K/600 K) X 100%
e = 0.333 X 100%
e = 33.333% or 33 1/3%

Answer: If in you machine you put some heat X, the machine will return some work W and some heat Y. In this case, X = 600k and Y = 200k.

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio of heat transformed into work, so

E = W/X = 1 - Y/X = 1 - 200/600 = 1 - 1/3 = 0.66.

So the efficiency of the turbine is of the 66%

( 8c5p79) A certain force gives mass m1 an acceleration of 13.5 m/s2 and mass m2 an acceleration of 3.5 m/s2. What acceleration

Talja [164]

Answer:

$4.725 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

We know that from Newton's second law of motion, F=ma hence making acceleration the subject then $a=\frac {F}{m}$ where a is acceleration, F is force and m is mass

Also making mass the subject of the formula $m=\frac {F}{a}$

For $m1= \frac {F}{13.5}$ and $m2=\frac {F}{3.5}$ hence $F=(m2-m1)a= (\frac {F}{3.5}-\frac {F}{13.5})a=0.2116402116\\\frac {1}{a}=0.2116402116\\a=4.725 m/s^{2}$
