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.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

22 N upward

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying newton's second law of motion

F = m(v-u)/t....................... Equation 1

Where F = Average force exerted by the ground on the ball, m = mass of the baseball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time of contact

Note: Let upward be negative and downward be positive

Given: m = 0.14 kg, v = -1.00 m/s, u = 1.2 m/s, t = 0.014 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.14(-1-1.2)/0.014

F = 0.14(-2.2)/0.014

F = 10(-2.2)

F = -22 N

Note the negative sign shows that the force act upward

Why are we buried in the ground when we die?
trasher [3.6K]
What kind of the question is that. We aren't really buried. We either go to Heaven or the other place. Some people say it's over when your buried in the ground but believers don't really think that.

gladu [14]

Answer:

The message (signal) coming from the earth was sent first.

Explanation:

The radio messages reach Mars simultaneously, because the distance from Earth to Mars and that of from Mars to Asteroid is same. But the passenger in the spaceship is moving relative to Mars towards Earth and hence, the message from Earth reaches first.

According to passenger frame, the message (signal) coming from the Earth was sent first compared to message coming from Asteroid.
