Answer:
The correct option is;
Why car engines are not perfectly efficient
Explanation:
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the total entropy, S, of a system combined with the entropy of its surrounding cannot be decreased, such that for an irreversible process, the entropy always increases and >
, while for a reversible process the entropy is constant and
The entropy is a measure of the amount of useful work obtainable from heat (or thermal) energy
A system with a low entropy has high amounts of heat energy capable of doing work while a high entropy system can produce only a small amount of useful work from the available thermal energy
In car engines, as the parts start to move, the entropy of the system increases alongside the generated heat lost to the environment, the amount of heat available for doing work reduces and therefore, the entropy increases further and the ratio of work obtainable from a given input of heat energy reduces and therefore, the car engine is not perfectly efficient.
Answer:
So a=3.844 and b=5
Explanation:
Scientific notation requests to write a number using powers of ten as a factor accompanying a real number (a) between 1 and smaller than 10 that contains the digits to exactly represent the original number. So in this case, the number 384,400 can be written as:
with a=3.844, and "5" as the exponent of ten (so b=5)
Answer:
Explanation:
To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:
where k is Coulomb's constant, and
are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.
Working a little the equation, we can take:
And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem
(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)
And this is the distance between the charges.
