Answer:

35%

Explanation:

The car's engine gives off 65% thermal energy

So only 35 % is converted into mechanical energy .

input heat = Q₁ = 100

output heat = Q₂ = 65

Work output = Q₁ - Q₂ = W

W = 100 - 65 = 35

Efficiency = W / Q₁ X 100

= (35/ 100) X 100

= 35%.

nert xenon actually forms many compounds, especially with highly electronegative fluorine. The ΔH o f values for xenon difluorid

loris [4]

Answer:

For Xenon fluoride, the average bond energy is 132kj/mol

For tetraflouride,the average bond energy is 150.5kj/mol.

For hexaflouride, the average bond energy is 146.5 kj/mol

Explanation:

For xenon fluoride

105/2 = 52.5

For F-F

159/2 = 79.5

Average bond energy of Xe-F = 79.5 + 52.5 = 132kj/mole

For tetraflouride

284/4 = 71

For F-F

159/2 = 79.5

Average bond energy = 79.5 + 71 = 150.5kj/mol

For hexaflouride

402/6 = 67

F-F = 159/2 = 79.5

Average bond energy = 67 + 79.5 = 146.5kj/ mol

Water is drawn from a well in a bucket tied to the end of a rope whose other end wraps around a solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

$\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of solid cylinder, $m=50\ kg$

diameter of cylinder, $d=0.25\ m$

mass of bucket of water, $m_w=20\ kg$

<em>When the bucket is released to fall in the well, it fall under the acceleration due to gravity.</em>

We have formula for angular acceleration as:

$\alpha=\frac{g}{r}$

where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius of the cylinder

$\aplha=\frac{9.8}{0.125}$

$\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}$

What type of nuclear radiation is emitted when carbon-14 decays

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Beta radiation

Explanation:

Beta radiation is a radioactive phenomenon of nuclear decay in which an unstable atom or isotop, by transforming a neutron into a proton, or by transforming a proton into a neutron, becomes stable. For example, the decay of carbon 14 produces beta radiation.
