Practical steam engines utilize 450ºC steam, which is later exhausted at 270ºC.

Naily [24]

(a) 0.249 (24.9 %)

The maximum efficiency of a heat engine is given by

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

where

Tc is the low-temperature reservoir

Th is the high-temperature reservoir

For the engine in this problem,

$T_C = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K$

$T_H = 450^{\circ}C+273=723 K$

Therefore the maximum efficiency is

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{543}{723}=0.249$

(b-c) 0.221 (22.1 %)

The second steam engine operates using the exhaust of the first. So we have:

$T_H = 270^{\circ}C+273=543 K$ is the high-temperature reservoir

$T_C = 150^{\circ}C+273=423 K$ is the low-temperature reservoir

If we apply again the formula of the efficiency

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$

The maximum efficiency of the second engine is

$\eta = 1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\frac{423}{543}=0.221$

a 25 kg object is pushed with a horizontal force of 5 N esat across a table. If the force of friction is 2 N, what is the accele

Julli [10]

Answer:

Apply Newton's second law in the moving direction.

Explanation:

$\begin{aligned}F &= ma\\5N-2N &= 25kg\times a\\a & = \frac{3N}{25kg}\\&= 0.12ms^{-2}\end{aligned}$

Friction force applies in the opposite direction of motion; as a restriction.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

$4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

$\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

$\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Lúc 7g bạn an đi từ nhà đến trường với tóc độ trung bình là 20km/h . Bạn đến trường lúc 7g20. Tính khoảng cách từ nhà tới trường

Len [333]

Answer:

Distance = 6.667 kilometres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 20 km/h

Departure time = 7:00

Arrival time = 7:20

Time taken = 20 minutes

To calculate the distance travelled from home to school;

First of all, we would have to convert the value of time in minutes to hours.

Conversion:

60 minutes = 1 hour

20 minutes = X hours

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 20/60 = 1/3 hours

Mathematically, the distance travelled by an object is calculated by using the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Distance = 20 * 1/3

Distance = 20/3 =

Distance = 6.667 kilometres
