Answer:

a) The heat input per cycle is 2857.143 joules.

b) The temperature of the low-temperature reservoir is 49.655 °C.

Explanation:

a) The efficiency of the Carnot engine is defined by the following formula:

\eta_{th} = 1-\frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}} = 1 - \frac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}} (1)

Where:

T_{L} - Low temperature reservoir, in Kelvin.

T_{H} - High temperature reservoir, in Kelvin.

Q_{L}  - Heat output, in joules.

Q_{H} - Heat input, in joules.

\eta_{th } - Engine efficiency, no unit.

If we know that \eta_{th} = 0.3 and Q_{L} = 2000\,J, the heat input of the Carnot engine is:

\eta_{th} = 1 - \frac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}}

\frac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H}} = 1 - \eta_{th}

Q_{H} = \frac{Q_{L}}{1-\eta_{th}}

Q_{H} = \frac{2000\,J}{1-0.3}

Q_{H} = 2857.143\,J

The heat input per cycle is 2857.143 joules.

b) If we know that T_{H} = 461.15\,K and \eta_{th} = 0.3, then the temperature of the low-temperature reservoir:

\eta_{th} = 1 - \frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}}

\frac{T_{L}}{T_{H}} = 1 - \eta_{th}

T_{L} = T_{H}\cdot (1-\eta_{th})

T_{L} = (461.15\,K)\cdot (1-0.3)

T_{L} = 322.805\,K

T_{L} = 49.655\,^{\circ}C

The temperature of the low-temperature reservoir is 49.655 °C.

Write a sentence to describe how an image is formed on retina<br>when looking at distant objects.​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

An image is formed on the retina with light rays converging most at the cornea and upon entering and exiting the lens. Rays from the top and bottom of the object are traced and produce an inverted real image on the retina. The distance to the object is drawn smaller than scale
