Answer: 33.2\%

Explanation:

Given

83% heat is transferred and out of this, only 40% is converted to the mechanical energy of spinning turbine.

The overall efficiency is the product of all the efficiency i.e.

\eta_t=0.83\times 0.4\\\eta_t=0.332\ \text{or}\ 33.2\%

10. How far does a transverse pulse travel in 1.23 ms on a string with a density of 5.47 × 10−3 kg/m under tension of 47.8 ?????
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Tension = 47.8N, Δx = 11.5×10^{-6} m.

              Tension = 95.6N, Δx = 15.4×10^{-5} m

Explanation: A speed of wave on a string under a tension force can be calculated as:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }

F_{T} is tension force (N)

μ is linear density (kg/m)

Determining velocity:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }

|v| = \sqrt{0.00874 }

|v| = 0.0935 m/s

The displacement a pulse traveled in 1.23ms:

\Delta x = |v|.t

\Delta x = 9.35.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}

Δx = 11.5×10^{-6}

With tension of 47.8N, a pulse will travel Δx = 11.5×10^{-6}  m.

Doubling Tension:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{2*47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }

|v| = \sqrt{2.0.00874 }

|v| = \sqrt{0.01568}

|v| = 0.1252 m/s

Displacement for same time:

\Delta x = |v|.t

\Delta x = 12.52.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}

\Delta x = 15.4×10^{-5}

With doubled tension, it travels \Delta x = 15.4×10^{-5} m

A very light ping-pong ball moving east at a speed of 4 m/s collides with a very heavy stationary bowling ball. The Ping-Pong ba
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

They experience the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

We have a ping-pong ball colliding with a stationary bowling ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, we have that the total momentum before and after the collision must be conserved:

where is the initial momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the initial momentum of the bowling ball (which is zero, since the ball is stationary)

is the final momentum of the ping-poll ball

is the final momentum of the bowling ball

We can re-arrange the equation as follows or

which means (1) so the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ping-pong ball is equal to the magnitude of the change in momentum of the bowling ball.

However, we also know that the magnitude of the impulse on an object is equal to the change of momentum of the object:

(2) therefore, (1)+(2) tells us that the ping-pong ball and the bowling ball experiences the same magnitude impulse:

If you push a chair across the floor at a constant velocity, how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert? ex
patriot [66]
If the velocity of the chair is constant, then the net force acting on it is zero.

The force you exert to keep it going is equal and opposite to the force of friction.
