True or false: Displacement is the total path traveled by an object

Physics
1 answer:
amm18123 years ago
5 0

Answer:true

Explanation:

Displacement is the vector representation of a change in position. It is path independent and is equivalent to the straight line distance between the start and end locations. Distance is a scalar quantity that reflects the path traveled.

If you are using a wrench to loosen a very stubborn nut, you can make the job easier by using a "cheater pipe." This is a piece
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The cheater pipe extends the wrench in  radial direction, providing a larger momentum for the force you exert.

For a given force the torque exerted with the cheater pipe is larger.

Mathematically we can write that

τ = r×F and τ'= r'×F

now since r'> r

⇒ F'>F

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate
diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}

According to the data given we have to,

Q_{source} = 200000Btu

T_{source} = 1500R

Q_{sink} = 100000Btu

T_{sink} = 600R

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}

\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}

\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R

On the other hand,

\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}

\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}

\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R

The total change of entropy would be,

S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}

S = -133.33+166.67

S = 33.34Btu/R

Since S\neq   0 the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}

W = 200000-100000

W = 100000 Btu

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu
