A fairly efficient steam turbine engine fired by coal is used to drive an electric generator. The generator operates between 210

0°C and 385°C.
(a) Determine the maximum possible efficiency of the engine.


Answer: 72.3 %


Formula:

e = 1 - (Tc / Th) = 1 - (Qc / Qh) = ( W / Qh)


Explanation: Unsure??


(b) The engine absorbs 1.15 105 J from the hot reservoir every second. If the actual efficiency of the engine is 40.3%, determine the mechanical power the engine delivers.


Answer: 46 kW


Explanation:

Energy absorbed by the engine (J) * actual efficiency of the engine (%) = mechanical power the engine delivers (kW)


How does 1 - (385/2100) = 72.3 % ?
What do I Plug in to make e = 72.3 %

Use kelvin not celsius

C + 273 = K

This will fix my problem of the equation not making sense.

You will measure and record the time it takes the cart to travel certain distances, and then complete some calculations. In the
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take the measurement of the distance (d) with a meter rule (in meters) and also measure the time (t) of the travel in seconds with a stopwatch.

question: What is the speed of the cart?

Explanation:

The speed of an object in motion is the distance covered by the object with respect to time, that is, the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to reach that distance.

Speed = distance / time

           = d (in meters m) / t (in seconds s) = m/s

if quasars often resemble little blue stars, what was it about them that so surprised astronomers when they were dis­covered?
Anna11 [10]

Quasar is famous for being an intergalactic object which is billions of years away from the earth yet can still be seen, unlike the other star body, unlike giant galaxies.

Hence, the fact that quasars can be detected from distances where even the biggest and most luminous galaxies cannot be seen means that "they must be intrinsically far more luminous than the brightest galaxies."

This condition, including other related evidence gotten in recent years concerning our galaxy, has shown that quasars are probably the central nuclei of very distant, very active galaxies.

The surprising thing was that quasars and active galaxies have a lot of mass in the center of the very small volume of the space.

Therefore, the surprising thing about quasars was that due to this mass and energy they are 100 times more luminous than Milky Way which means they have high recession velocity and a very large amount of red-shifting.
