Answer:
22.2 W
Explanation:
First of all, we calculate the work done by moving the wagon, using the formula:
where
F = 20 N is the magnitude of the force
d = 1000 m is the displacement of the wagon
is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement (assuming the force is applied in the direction of motion)
Substituting, we find
Now we can find the power generated, which is equal to the ratio between the work done and the time taken:
where
W = 20,000 J
t = 15 min = 900 s
Substituting,
And the same value in Joules/second (remember that 1 Watt = 1 Joule/second)
One of the concepts to be used to solve this problem is that of thermal efficiency, that is, that coefficient or dimensionless ratio calculated as the ratio of the energy produced and the energy supplied to the machine.
From the temperature the value is given as
Where,
T_L = Cold focus temperature
T_H = Hot spot temperature
Our values are given as,
T_L = 20\° C = (20+273) K = 293 K
T_H = 440\° C = (440+273) K = 713 K
Replacing we have,
Therefore the maximum possible efficiency the car can have is 58.9%
