a student that just received their driver's license decides to buy a new car. he remembers from physics class that heat engines

have thermal efficiency that can be calculated. he asks the car dealer for a car that has a high thermal efficiency rating. the car dealer say he has a car that is 100% efficient. which law of thermodynamics best describes why the car cannot be 100% efficient?

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

A 0.200-kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerine.The gylcerine is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 3.90 c
natita [175]

Answer:

Part a)

h = 0.86 cm

Part b)

Level will increase

Explanation:

Part a)

Mass of the ice cube is 0.200 kg

Now from the buoyancy force formula we know that weight of the ice is counter balanced by buoyancy force on the ice

So here we will have

mg = \rho V_{displaced} g

V_{displaced} = \frac{m}{\rho}

V_{displaced} = \frac{0.200}{1260} = 1.59 \times 10^{-4} m^3

now as we know that ice will melt into water

so here volume of water that will convert due to melting of ice is given as

V\rho_w = m_{ice}

V = \frac{0.200}{1000} = 2\times 10^{-4} m^3

So here extra volume that rise in the level will be given as

\Dleta V = V - V_{displaced}

\pi r^2 h = 2\times 10^{-4} - 1.59 \times 10^{-4}

(\pi (0.039^2) h = 0.41 \times 10^{-4}

h = 0.86 cm

Part b)

Since volume of water that formed here is more than the volume that is displaced by the ice so we can say that level of liquid in the cylinder will increase due to melting of ice
