Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately 7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x,

where

  • u is the initial velocity of the object,
  • v is the final velocity of the object.
  • a is its acceleration, and
  • x is its displacement.

In this case, x is the same as the change in the ball's height: x = 2.5\; \rm m. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, u = 0. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, g \cdot h.

In this case, v would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for

v^2 = 2\, a\, x + u^2.

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a\, x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \times 2.5 + 0} \\ &\approx 7.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

A .100 kg bullet is flying at 200 m/s. How much energy is the bullet storing due to its motion?
morpeh [17]

KE = 2000 J

Explanation:

KE = (1/2)mv^2

= (1/2)(0.100 kg)(200 m/s)^2

= 2000 J

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?
Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

The acceleration due to gravity is higher on juniper Than on earth. The mass and weight of rock on juniper compared to that on e
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2.5 times higher then that on the Earth

Explanation:

Gravity is higher on Jupiter then on Earth because Jupiter is much bigger, because of it's mass compared to Earth the gravity on Jupiter is about 2.4 - 2.5 times higher then Earths surface gravity which means a rock on Jupiter would be around "2.4 - 2.5 times as heavier then it would be on Earth."

Hope this helps.
