Consider a heat engine that inputs 10 kJ of heat and outputs 5 kJ of work. What are the signs on the total heat transfer and tot

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Total heat transfer is positive

Total work transfer is positive

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that when a system interacts with its surrounding, the amount of energy gained by the system must be equal to the amount of energy lost by the surrounding. In a closed system, exchange of energy with the surrounding can be done through heat and work transfer.

Heat transfer to a system is positive and that transferred from the system is negative.

Also, work done by a system is positive while the work done on the system is negative.

Therefore, from the question, since the heat engine inputs 10kJ of heat, then heat is being transferred to the system. Hence, the sign of the total heat transfer is positive (+ve)

Also, since the heat engine outputs 5kJ of work, it implies that work is being done by the system. Hence the sign of the total work transfer is also positive (+ve).

A simple pendulum has a period of 3.45 second, when the length of the pendulum is shortened by 1.0m, the period is 2.81 second c

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Original length = 2.97 m

Explanation:

Let the original length of the pendulum be 'L' m

Given:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Original time period of the pendulum (T) = 3.45 s

Now, the length is shortened by 1.0 m. So, the new length is 1 m less than the original length.

New length of the pendulum is, $L_1=L-1$

New time period of the pendulum is, $T_1=2.81\ s$

We know that, the time period of a simple pendulum of length 'L' is given as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$ -------------- (1)

So, for the new length, the time period is given as:

$T_1=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}$ ------------ (2)

Squaring both the equations and then dividing them, we get:

$\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{(2\pi)^2\frac{L}{g}}{(2\pi)^2\frac{L_1}{g}}\\\\\\\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}=\dfrac{L}{L_1}\\\\\\L=\dfrac{T^2}{T_1^2}\times L_1$

Now, plug in the given values and calculate 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.45^2}{2.81^2}\times (L-1)\\\\L=1.507L-1.507\\\\L-1.507L=-1.507\\\\-0.507L=-1.507\\\\L=\frac{-1.507}{-0.507}=2.97\ m$

Therefore, the original length of the simple pendulum is 2.97 m

An audi travels at 88 km/hr over a distance of 22 km. calculate.25 the time taken for the audi to travel this distance.

sammy [17]

The Audi covers 88 in one hour.
22 is one quarter of 88, so it takes one quarter of one hour. That's 15 minutes.
Note:. The answer would be the same for any other brand of car, motorcycle, airplane etc.
