Which of the following changes will always increase the efficiency of a thermodynamic engine? Choose all correct statements.
Ilya [14]

Answer:B,C,D

Explanation:

Thermodynamic  efficiency is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_C}{T-H}

\eta efficiency can be increased by Keeping _c constant and increasing T_H

Keeping T_H constant and decreasing T_c

by increasing \Delta T=T_H-T_c

by decreasing \frac{T_C}{T_H} ratio

A 1000-kilogram car traveling with a velocity of 20. meters per second decelerates uniformly at -5.0 meters per second2 until it
Elis [28]

Answer:

-20000 kgm/s

Explanation:

Impulse: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is kgm/s.

Mathematically, impulse can be expressed as

I = m(v-u).............. Equation 1.

Where I = impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest, m = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, v = final velocity of the car.

Given: m = 1000 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( to rest)

Substitute into equation 1

I = 100(0-20)

I = 1000(-20)

I = -20000 kgm/s

Hence the impulse applied to the car to bring it to rest = -20000 kgm/s
