Answer: D) subatomic, atomic, and nanometer-size systems.
Explanation: Quantum mechanics applies to subatomic, atomic, and nanometer-size systems.
Physics is known as the fundamentals of science, as all the branches of science, whether it is biology, chemistry, ecology, botany, environmental science, geology, geography, and more all follow the laws of physics, such as laws of thermodynamics, etc. Chemistry is existent because of physics due to the Conservation of mass. Once you get to a much deeper level of science, you will notice that all the fields of science start to blend together and all add up to one huge painting!
Answer:
(a) W=217 J
(b) Tc=378K
(c) e=0.39=39%
Explanation:
For part (a)
We to calculate the mechanical work W the engine does. By knowing QC and QH can obtain the work using equation
W = IQHI — IQcl .....................eq(1)
Put given values for QH and QC into equation (1) to get
the mechanical work of the engine
W = 550 - 335
W=217 J
For part (b)
We want to determine the temperature of low temperature reservoir which means Tc
IQc|/|Qh| =TC/TH
for Tc
Tc=(IQc|/|Qh|)*TH
Now we can put values
Tc= 620K (335/
550.1)
Tc=378K
For part (c)
Here we want to find the thermal efficiency (e) of the cycle
e=1-TC/TH
e=1-(378/620)
e=0.39=39%
