Answer:

The efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.

Explanation:

Given;

useful output work done by the combustion engine, = 356 kJ

input work, = 946 kJ

The efficiency of the combustion engine is calculated as;

Efficiency = \frac{0utput \ work}{1nput \ work} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = \frac{356 \ \times \ 10^3}{946 \ \times \ 10^3} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = 37.63 \ \%

Therefore, the efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 21.8m/s sees a cat 101 m away on the road. How long will it take for the car to accele
kobusy [5.1K]
The acceleration of the car will be needed in order to calculate the time. It is important to consider that the final speed is equal to zero:

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ad\ \to\ a = \frac{-v_0^2}{2d} = -\frac{21.8^2\ m^2/s^2}{2\cdot 99\ m} = -2.4\frac{m}{s^2}

We can clear time in the speed equation:

v = v_0 + at\ \to\ t = \frac{-v_0}{a} = \frac{-21.8\ m/s}{-2.4\ m/s^2} = \bf 9.08\ s

katovenus [111]

Answer: ​Wernicke's aphasia

Explanation:

John recently suffered a blow to his head. Since then, he finds it difficult to comprehend what others say to him. He also finds it difficult to express his thoughts and cannot seem to find the right words to say while speaking. However, he can speak freely with proper syntax. In this scenario, John is most likely suffering from Wernicke's aphasia.

Wernicke's aphasia occurs when the leftward side of the middle of the brain is damaged or has been altered. An individual who suffers from Wernicke's aphasia will have difficulty in speaking in meaningful and coherent sentences or may have difficulty in understanding the speech of others.

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug
Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

\tau = Fr

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

\tau = Fr

\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N

\tau = 11.55Nm

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2

I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}

\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians (\pi / 3), therefore

W = \tau \theta

W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}

W = 12.09J

Calculate the Poynting vector at the surface of the filament, associated with the static electric field producing the current an
Vesnalui [34]

We anticipate a constant Poynting vector of magnitude since the hot resistor will be emitting heat and none of the electric or magnetic fields will change over time.

S = P/A

  = I2R/ 2πrL

 = 332 kW/m2

Always pointing away from the wire, this Poynting vector.

<h3>What is the Poynting vector?</h3>

Describes the size and direction of the energy flow in electromagnetic waves using a Poynting vector. It bears the name of the 1884 invention of English physicist John Henry Poynting. It stands for the electromagnetic field's directional energy flux or power flow. The Poynting vector is significant in a static electromagnetic field because it determines the direction of energy flow in an electromagnetic field. This vector represents the radiation pressure of an electromagnetic wave and points in its direction of propagation.
