If swimmers had a choice of the water slides shown in this figure,
they would all go home dry, since there is no figure. I'll have to try to
answer this question based on only the words in the text, augmented
only by my training, education, life experience, and human logic.
-- Both slides are frictionless. So no energy is lost as a swimsuit
scrapes along the track, and the swimmer's kinetic energy at the
bottom is equal to the potential energy he had at the top.
-- Both slides start from the same height. So the same swimmer
has the same potential energy at the top of either one, and therefore
the same kinetic energy at the bottom of either one.
-- So the difference in the speeds of two different swimmers
on the slides depends only on the difference in the swimmers'
mass, and is not influenced by the shape or length of the slides
(as long as the slides remain frictionless).
If both swimmers have the same mass, then v₁ = v₂ .
Answer:
4.2 J
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity: This is defined as the amount of a heat required to rise a unit mass of a substance through a temperature of 1 K
From specific heat capacity,
Q = cmΔt.............................. Equation 1
Where Q = amount of energy absorbed or lost, c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, Δt = Temperature rise.
Given: m = 1 g = 0.001 kg, Δt = 1 °C
Constant : c = 4200 J/kg.°C
Substitute into equation 1
Q = 0.001×4200(1)
Q = 4.2 J.
Hence the energy absorbed or lost = 4.2 J
The discovery which Carnot made was that THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE HOT AND THE COLD RESERVOIRS DETERMINE HOW WELL A HEAT ENGINE WOULD WORK.
Sadi Carnot was a French engineer, He proposed a theoretical thermodynamic cycle in 1824. In his cycle, Said hold that the efficiency of a heat engine depends on the temperature difference between its hot reservoir and cold reservoir.
I think it’s either A or B
Answer:
Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.
