Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

$\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%$

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.

How much weight can a man lift in the jupiter if he can lift 100kg on the earth.calculate

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<h3>2479 Newton</h3>

Solution,

Mass=100 kg

Acceleration due to gravity(g)=24.79 m/s^2

Now,.

 $weight = m \times g \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 100 \times 24.79 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2479 \: newton$ 

hope this helps ..

Good luck on your assignment..

An airplane flies 20km in a direction 60 degrees north of east, then 30 km straight east, then 10km straight north. How far and

Fed [463]

Answer:

48.4 km, 34.3° north of east

Explanation:

Let's say east is the +x direction and north is the +y direction.

Adding up the x components of the vectors:

x = 20 cos 60 + 30 + 0

x = 40 km

Adding up the y components of the vectors:

y = 20 sin 60 + 0 + 10

y = 27.3 km

The magnitude of the displacement is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 48.4 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 34.3° north of east

Which best summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the net work done by the forces on a body or an object is equal to the change produced in the kinetic energy of the body or an object.

The concept that summarizes a concept related to the work-energy theorem is that ''When work is positive, the environment does work on an object.''
