Answer:

It would take 16.7 s for the work to be done by the engine.

Explanation:

From the question, given: Power = 390.3 kW

                                           Work to be done = 6.5 x 10^{6} J

But, power and work done with respect to time, has a relationship of:

Power = \frac{work done}{time}

So that,

time = \frac{work done}{Power}

Thus,

time  = \frac{6.5*10^{6} }{390.3*10^{3} }

       = 16.6539

time = 16.7 s

Time required is 16.7 seconds.

Thus, it would take 16.7 s for the work to be done by the engine.

tester [92]

Answer:

d. 87,500 J

e. 49,600 J

Explanation:

The total energy is the heat absorbed by the copper plus the heat absorbed by the water.

d)

E = m₁C₁ΔT + m₂C₂ΔT

E = (1 kg) (390 J/kg/°C) (10 °C) + (2 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (10 °C)

E = 87,500 J

e)

E = m₁C₁ΔT + m₂C₂ΔT

E = (2 kg) (390 J/kg/°C) (10 °C) + (1 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (10 °C)

E = 49,600 J
