3. An engine’s fuel is heated to 2,000 K and the surrounding air is 300 K. Calculate the ideal efficiency of the engine. Hint: T

maksim [4K]

Answer: E = 0.85

Therefore the efficiency is: E = 0.85 or 85%

Explanation:

The efficiency (e) of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work (W) done by the engine to the input heat QH

E = W/QH.

W=QH – QC,

Where Qc is the output heat.

That is,

E=1 - Qc/QH

E =1 - Tc/TH

where Tc for a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH for a temperature of the hot reservoir.

Note: The unit of temperature must be in Kelvin.

Tc = 300K

TH = 2000K

Substituting the values of E, we have;

E = 1 - 300K/2000K

E = 1 - 0.15

E = 0.85

Therefore the efficiency is: E = 0.85 or 85%

I dont understand how to find the blanks

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The forces are:

$F_{grav} = 98,000 N$ , down

$F_{net} = 80,000 N$ , down

$F_{air}=18,000 N$ , up

Explanation:

We start by finding the force of gravity on the elephant, $F_{grav}$ , which is given by

$F_{grav}=mg$ (downward)

where

m = 10,000 kg is the mass of the elephant

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting,

$F_{grav}=(10,000)(9.8)=98,000 N$

Now we know that the net acceleration of the elephant is

$a_{net}=8.0 m/s^2$ downward

We can now use Newton's second law:

$F_{net}=ma_{net}$

where $F_{net}$ is the net force on the elephant. Substituting, we find

$F_{net}=(10,000)(8.0)=80,000 N$

and it also acts downward, since it has the same direction as the acceleration.

Finally, we can write the net force on the elephant as

$F_{net}=F_{grav}-F_{air}$

where the force of gravity acts downward, while the air resistance ( $F_{air}$ acts upward. The net force also acts downward, so it has the same sign of gravity.

Substituting:

$F_{net}=80,000 N\\F_{grav}=98,000 N$

And solving, we find the air resistance:

$F_{air}=F_{grav}-F_{net}=98,000-80,000 = 18,000 N$ (upward)

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

B. Vestibular nuclei

Explanation:

The nerve information generated by the vestibular receptors travels through the vestibular portion of the eighth pair that penetrates the brain stem at the level of the brain stem bridge. At this level there are four vestibular nuclei, which receive the synapses of these axons, coming from the ridges and macules. The semicircular ducts predominantly terminate in the superior and medial nuclei. While the fibers coming from the macules end on the lateral, medial and inferior nuclei. Some fibers of the eighth pair end in the flocculonodular lobe of the cerebellum, these connections play an important role in controlling posture and balance.

From the vestibular nuclei, two bundles of fibers descending to the spinal cord originate from the medial and lateral vestibular spinal bundles and a bundle of fiber that rises in the brain stem that participates in the coordination of eye movements, the medial longitudinal fascicle, which participates in Rotational nystagmus This system also participates in an important way in the control of some ocular movements by the fibers that it contributes to the medial longitudinal fascicle, which is a structure that interconnects the motor nuclei of the extrinsic muscles of the eyeballs VI or abdicens nucleus (abductor) on one side and IV or pathetic nucleus (trochlear) and III or nucleus of the common ocular motor (oculomotor) on the opposite side.

Fed [463]

Answer:

245N

Explanation:

We just need to multiply the force the man pulls the wagon by the cosine of the angle with the ground.

F = 330N * cos(42°) = 245.2N
