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%.

A sample of gas in a syringe releases heat to its surroundings while the

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: b

Explanation:

When heat is released by the system i.e. system loses heat. So, we take it as negative -Q

When the work is done on the system then it is considered as negative work on the system i.e. -W

In this case, the plunger is pulled out, and work is done on the system. So, we take work as negative work -W

Correct option is b

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

$v_1=\sqrt{2gh}$

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

$J=m(v_2-v_1)$

$J=2m\sqrt{2gh}$

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.
