Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.

Explanation:

The efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100% most of the times because of waste energy in form of heat.

Different forms of heating occurs during the working of an engine
As the mechanical workings of the engine sets in motion, heat is generated.
One of the most common type of the heat is the frictional heating.
Therefore, as energy is transformed from one form to another, some are lost as heat.
In this regard, the efficiency of the engine suffers.

Answer:

<h2>C. 0.55 m/s towards the right</h2>

Explanation:

Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)

BEFORE COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s

AFTER COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s

x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =

0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125

0.25x = 0.25-0.1125

0.25x = 0.1375

x = 0.1375/0.25

x = 0.55m/s

Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at 0.55 m/s towards the right

Answer these questions plz

lozanna [386]

1. The property of a conductor by virtue of which it posses the flow of electric current through it is called resistance.

2. The resistance of a conductor depends on the cross sectional area of the conductor and it's resistivity.

3.This id due to the fact that the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its diameter.

4.Due to at high temperatures , the alloy donot oxidize. Alloy doesn't melt readily and get deformed.

Two toroidal solenoids are wound around the same form so that the magnetic field of one passes through the turns of the other. S

dedylja [7]

The concept that we need here to give a proper solution is mutual inductance.

The mutual inductance is given by the expression

$M=\frac{N\Phi}{I}$

Where,

I = current

N = Number of turns

$\Phi =$ Flux through the solenoid.

Part A) Then we have in our values that,

$I=6.6A$

$\Phi= 3.50*10^{-2}Wb$

$N=450$

Replacing in the equation,

$M = \frac{450*350*10^{-2}}{6.60}$

$M = 2.39H$

Part B) Here is required the Flux, then using the same expression we have that

$\Phi = \frac{IM'}{N}$

We conserve the same value for the Inductance but now we have a current of 2.6, then

$\Phi = \frac{2.6*2.39}{690}$

$\Phi = 9*10^{-3}Wb$

Therefore the flux in Solenoid 1 is $9*10^{-3}Wb$

Krishna wants to measure the mass and volume of a key. Which tools should she use?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a balance and a beaker of water

Explanation:

The mass can easily be measured with balance. If you drop the key in a beaker of water, the water inside the beaker will increase and this increases the volume of water that will be equal to volume of key.
