Why is acceleration of an object moving at a constant velocity always zero?

Physics
1 answer:
k0ka [10]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

If an object is moving with a constant velocity, then by definition it has zero acceleration. So there is no net force acting on the object. The total work done on the object is thus 0 (that's not to say that there isn't work done by individual forces on the object, but the sum is 0 ).

Explanation:

In the middle, when the object was changing position at a constant velocity, the acceleration was 0. This is because the object is no longer changing its velocity and is moving at a constant rate.

A heat engine has a maximum possible efficiency of 0.780. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of-24.8
Volgvan

Answer : The temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Explanation :

Efficiency of carnot heat engine : It is the ratio of work done by the system to the system to the amount of heat transferred to the system at the higher temperature.

Formula used for efficiency of the heat engine.

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

where,

\eta = efficiency = 0.780

T_h = Temperature of hot reservoir = ?

T_c = Temperature of cold reservoir = -24.8^oC=273+(-24.8)=248.2K

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

\eta =1-\frac{T_c}{T_h}

0.780=1-\frac{248.2K}{T_h}

T_h=1128.18K

Therefore, the temperature of the hot reservoir (in Kelvins) is 1128.18 K

Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?
kvv77 [185]

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).
