What makes output energy less than input energy?

Physics
2 answers:
AleksAgata [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

part of input energy is wasted

it is used to increase the entropy of the surrounding

therefore the useful energy output is necessarily smaller than the energy input

in other words the efficiency of heat engine is always less than hundred percent

How much work is done on a 75 newton bowling ball when you carry it horizontally across a 10 meter room
svlad2 [7]

F = force applied to hold the weight of the bowling ball = weight of the bowling ball = 75 N

d = distance through which the bowling ball is moved horizontally = 10 meter

θ = angle between the force in vertically upward direction  and displacement in horizontal direction = 90

W = work done on the bowling ball

work done on the bowling ball is given as

W = F d Cosθ

inserting the values

W = (75) (10) Cos90

W =  (75) (10) (0)

W = 0 J

The temperature of a 700.96 gram piece of metal falls 120⁰C and in the process releases 2001 Joules of energy. What is the speci
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The specific heat for the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

Explanation:

Given,

Q = 1120 Joules

mass = 12 grams

T₁ = 100°C

T₂ = 300°C

The specific heat for the metal can be calculated by using the formula

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = 300°C  - 100°C   = 200°C

Substituting values,

1120 = (12)(200)(Cp)

Cp = 0.466 J/g°C.

Therefore, specific heat of the metal is 0.466 J/g°C.

A bullet of 10g strikes a sand bag at a speed of 100 m/s and gets embedded after travelling
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Solving for time :

(There are 4 formulas from linear motion. These formulas are very helpful as it allows us to prevent complicated calculations. Choose among the four that has : 1. The most constants known

2. The unknown constant that we want to solve)

s = (1/2)(u+v)t <--- one of the formulas

from linear motion

s (distance) = 0.05m

u (initial velocity) = 100m/s

v (final velocity) = 0 m/s (it stops)

t (time taken for change in velocity) = to be found

0.05 = (1/2)(100+0)t

t = 0.001 seconds

Solving for the resistant force :

Since the bullet hits the bag with an impulsive force and stops, the force that stops the bullet is the resistant force.

When the bullet stops :

F net = 0

F r = F imp

F r = (mu -mv)/t

F r = (0.01x100-0.01x0)/0.001

F r = 1/0.001

F r = 1000N

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to m = 5 in the Balmer equation is: A. 656 nm. B. 4
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm.

Explanation:

It is given that, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum that corresponds to n₂ = 5 in the Balmer equation.

For Balmer series, the wave number is given by :

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=R(\dfrac{1}{n_1^2}-\dfrac{1}{n_2^2})

R is the Rydberg's constant

For Balmer series, n₁ = 2. So,

\dfrac{1}{\lambda}=1.097\times 10^7\times (\dfrac{1}{2^2}-\dfrac{1}{5^2})

\lambda=4.34\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=434\ nm

So, the wavelength of the visible line in the hydrogen spectrum is 434 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
