solniwko [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D: 0.239

Explanation:

Equation for ideal efficiency is;

η = 1 - (T_c/T_h)

We are told that;

steam comes out at 112° C. Thus, T_h = 112°C. Converting to Kelvin gives; T_h = 112 + 273 = 385 K

The one exiting into the condenser is kept at 20°C. Thus; T_c = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Thus;

η = 1 - (293/385)

η = 0.239

Which of the following signs on q and w represent a system that is doing work on the surroundings, as well as losing heat to the
Karolina [17]

Answer:c

Explanation:

In Physics we follow the sign convention i.e. work done by the system is considered as positive i.e. work is being done by system on the surrounding and vice-versa.

For heat :Heat added to the system is considered as Positive while heat loss to surrounding is considered as negative.

thus doing work on the surrounding(work done by system) w=+

Losing heat to the surrounding q=-

If a motorcyclist accelerates from rest to 40 m/s in 8 seconds, what is their acceleration?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 40 m/s

t = 8 s

Find: a

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (40 m/s − 0 m/s) / 8 s

a = 5 m/s²

Distinguish between refraction and diffraction
Anastaziya [24]

Refraction is the change in direction of waves that occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. It is always accompanied by a wavelength and speed of change. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings.
