An inventor claims to have invented a heat engine that receives 750kJ of heat from a source at 400K and produces 250kJ of net wo

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

the claim is not valid or reasonable.

Explanation:

In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:

η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂

where,

η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?

T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K

T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K

Therefore,

η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K

η(max) = 0.25 = 25%

Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:

η = W/Q

where,

W = Net Work = 250 KJ

Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ

Therefore,

η = 250 KJ/750 KJ

η = 0.333 = 33.3 %

η > η(max)

The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.

<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.

Calculated the measurement uncertainty for Kinetic Energy when :mass = 1.3[kg] +/- 0.4[kg]velocity= 5.2 [m/s] +/- 0.2 [m/s]KE= 1

andriy [413]

Answer:

$\rm KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass, $\rm m\pm\Delta m = 1.3\pm 0.4\ kg.$

Velocity, $\rm v\pm \Delta v = 5.2\pm 0.2\ m/s.$

where,

$\rm \Delta m,\ \Delta v$ are the uncertainties in mass and velocity respectively.

The kinetic energy is given by

$\rm KE = \dfrac 12 mv^2 = \dfrac 12 \times 1.3\times 5.2^2=17.576\approx 17.6\ J.$

The uncertainty in kinetic energy is given as:

$\rm \dfrac{\Delta KE}{KE}=\dfrac{\Delta m}{m}+\dfrac{2\Delta v}{v}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=\dfrac{0.4}{1.3}+\dfrac{2\times 0.2}{5.2}\\\dfrac{\Delta KE}{17.6}=0.384\\\Rightarrow \Delta KE = 17.6\times 0.384 = 6.7854\ J\approx6.8\ J\\\\Thus,\\\\KE\pm \Delta KE = 17.6\pm 6.8\ J.$

A piece of steel is 11.5cm long at 22C. It is heated to 1221C, close to its melting point. How long is it, in cm, at the high te

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The length at the final temperature is 11.7 cm.

Explanation:

We need to use the thermal expansion equation:

$\Delta L=\alpha L_{0}\Delta T$

Where:

L(0) is the initial length
ΔT is the differential temperature, final temperature minus initial temperature (T(f)-T(0))
ΔL is the final length minus the initial length (L(f)-L(0))
α is the coefficient of linear expantion of steel (12.5*10⁻⁶ 1/°C)

So, we have:

$L_{f}-L_{0}=\alpha L_{0}(T_{f}-T_{0})$

$L_{f}=L_{0}+\alpha L_{0}(T_{f}-T_{0})$

$L_{f}=0.115+(12.5*10^{-6})(0.115)(1221-22)$

$L_{f}=0.117\: m$

Therefore, the length at the final temperature is 11.7 cm.

I hope it helps you!
