Part B What is its thermal efficiency? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

below

Explanation:

Part A) This engine works  per cycle is 254.9 J.

Part B) The thermal efficiency is  23.42%

What is the thermal efficiency?

The thermal efficiency of any heat engine is represented in percentage of heat energy converted into work.

For isothermal expansion, work done is

W₁ =nRT₁ x ln(V₂/V₁)

W₁ = 0.1 x 8.314 x 800 x ln(5000/3000)

W₁ = 339.8 J =Q₁

For isochoric cooling ,

W₂ =0

Q₂ =nCvdT = 0.1 x 3R/2 x (T₂-T₁)

Q₂ = -748.3 J

For isothermal compression,

W₃ =nRT₂ ln (V₄/V₃)

W₃  = 0.1 x 8.314 x 200 x ln(3000/5000)

W₃ = -84.9J

For isochoric heating

W₄ =0

Q₄ =nCvdT = 0.1 x 3R/2 x (800-200)

Q₄  = -748.3 J

Total work done in all the process W = W₁ +W₂ +W₃ +W₄

W =254.9 J

Thus, the work done is 254.9 J

Thermal efficiency = Work done/Heat taken

η = W/ Q₁ +Q₄

η = [254.9 / 339.8 +748.3 ] x 100 %

η = 0.2342 x 100 %

η = 23.42%

Thus, the thermal efficiency is 23.42%

The boy pushed the sled for 16 seconds.

We have a boy who pushes his little brother on a sled.

We have to determine for how long time does boy push the sled.

State Work - Energy Theorem.

The Work - Energy theorem states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.

According to the question -

The sled is initially at rest → initial velocity (u) = 0.

Final velocity (v) = 4 m/s

Mass of boy and sled (M) = 40 kg

Power developed (P) = 20 W = 20 Joules/sec

According to work - energy theorem -

Work done (W) = Δ E(K) = E(f) - E(i)

Therefore -

W = ([tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times 4 \times 4 - \frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 40 x 0) = 320 Joule

Now, Power is defined as the rate of doing work -

P = [tex]\frac{dW}{dt}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{W}{t}[/tex]

20 = [tex]\frac{320}{t}[/tex]

t = 16 seconds

Hence, the boy pushed the sled for 16 seconds.

A balloon is filled with 80 liters of gas on a day where the temperature was 34 degrees at sea level which is 101.3 kPa and released. As the balloon rises to a certain altitude, the temperature drops to 0 degrees celsius and the balloon doubles in volume. What is the atmospheric pressure at that altitude?

Answers

Answer:

0.444atm

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation;

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (

P2 = final pressure (

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question,

P1 = 101.3 kPa = 101.3 × 0.00987 = 0.999atm

P2 = ?

V1 = 80L

V2 = 160L (double of V1)

T1 = 34°C = 34 + 273 = 307K

T2 = 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

0.999 × 80/307 = P2 × 160/273

79.92/307 = 160P2/273

Cross multiply

307 × 160P2 = 79.92 × 273

49120P2 = 21818.16

P2 = 21818.16 ÷ 49120

P2 = 0.444

P2 = 0.444atm

You take your pulse and observe 80 heartbeats in a minute. What is the period of your heartbeat? What is the frequency of your heartbeat?

Answers

Answer:

120 beats per minute.

Explanation:

If I take your pulse and observe 80 heartbeats in a minute. Then the period of your heartbeat is 0.8 s and frequency is 1.3Hz.

What is Heartbeat ?

A pulse is the term used in medicine to describe the tactile arterial palpation of the cardiac cycle (heartbeat) by skilled fingertips. Any location where an artery can be compressed close to the surface of the body, such as the carotid artery in the neck, the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groyne, the popliteal artery behind the knee, the posterior tibial artery near the ankle joint, and on the foot, can be used to palpate the pulse (dorsalis pedis artery). Heart rate may be determined by monitoring pulse, or the number of arterial pulses per minute. Auscultation, which is the process of counting the heartbeats while listening to the heart using a stethoscope, is another way to determine the heart rate. Typically, three fingers are used to gauge the radial pulse.

Given,

heart beat = 80 beats/min = 1.3 beats/s

Frequency is nothing but how much beats is heart having in one second and that is 1.3 beats/s. Hence frequency of heart is 1.3Hz.

The Period is reciprocal of frequency,

T = 1/f = 0.8 s

A man pulls his dog (m=20kg) on a sled with a force of 100N at a 60° angle from the horizontal. What is the horizontal component of the force?

A) 100N

B) 196N

C) 50N

D) 86N

show your work please

Answers

Answer:

the horizontal component of the force is 50 N

Explanation:

Given;

force applied by the man, F = 100 N

angle of inclination of the force, θ = 60⁰

mass of the dog, m = 20 kg

The horizontal component of the force is calculated as;

[tex]F_x = F\times cos(\theta)\\\\F_x = 100 \ N \times cos(60^0)\\\\F_x = 100\ N \times 0.5\\\\F_x = 50 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the horizontal component of the force is 50 N

A 3-kg projectile is launched at an angle of 45o above the horizontal. The projectile explodes at the peak of its flight into two pieces. A 2-kg piece falls directly down and lands exactly 50 m from the launch point. Determine the horizontal distance from the launch point where the 1-kg piece lands.

Answers

1517.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the projectile broke up at the peak of its flight, it already traveled half its initial range so we can find its initial launch velocity [tex]v_0[/tex] from the equation

[tex]\frac{1}{2}R= \dfrac{1}{2} \left(\dfrac{v_0^2}{g}\sin 2\theta_0 \right)[/tex]

where [tex]\theta_0 = 45°[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{2}R = 50\:\text{m}[/tex] so we will get [tex]v_0=31.3\:\text{m/s}[/tex]. Next, we can use the equation

[tex]v_y = v_0y - gt = v_0 \sin 45 - gt[/tex]

and since [tex]v_y=0[/tex] at its peak, we get t = 22.1 s. Let's set this aside for a moment and we'll use it later.

At the top of its peak, we can use the conservation law of linear momentum. Let M be the mass if of the original projectile, [tex]m_1[/tex] be the mass of the larger fragment (2 kg) and [tex]m_2[/tex] be the mass of the smaller fragment (1 kg). We can write the conservation law as

[tex]Mv_0x = m_1V_1 + m_2V_2[/tex]

where [tex]V_1\:\text{and}\:V_2[/tex] are the velocities of the fragments immediately after the break up. But we also know that [tex]V_1=0[/tex] so the velocity of [tex]m_2[/tex] can be calculated from the conservation law as

[tex]Mv_0 \cos 45° = m_2V_2[/tex]

or

[tex]V_2 = \dfrac{M}{m_2}v_0 \cos 45° = 66.4\:\text{m/s}[/tex]

Now we can calculate the horizontal distance the smaller fragment traveled after the break up. Recall that the amount of time for it to go up is also the amount of time to get down so the horizontal distance x is

[tex]x = V_2 t = (66.4\:\text{m/s})(22.1\:\text{s})= 1467.4\:\text{m}[/tex]

Therefore, the total distance traveled from the launch point is

[tex]D = 50\:\text{m} + 1467.4\:\text{m}=1517.4\:\text{m}[/tex]

Suppose there are 3 molecules in a container. If each molecule has a 1-in-2 chance of being in the left half of the container, what is the probability that there are exactly 2 molecules in the left half of the container?

Answers

Answer:

Total probability = 3/8

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Number of molecules in the container = 3

The probability of one molecule in the left half, P = 3 / 2 = 1.5 or 1/2

The probability of second molecule in the left half, P1 = (3/4)

Total probability = P x P1

Total probability = (1/2) x (3/4)

Total probability = 3/8

How fast much an 816kg Volkswagen travel to have the same momentum as (a) a 2650kg Cadillac going 16.0 km/h? (b) a 9080-kg truck also going 16.0 km/hr?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

the car's momentum = momentum of the truck

(a) 816 kg × v = 2650 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (2650 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 51.96 km/hr

(b) 816 kg × v = 9080 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (9080 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 178.04 km/hr

For an object with a given mass on Earth, calculate the weight of the object with the mass equal in magnitude to the number representing the day given in part 3 in kilograms using the formula F=W=mg. On the surface of the Earth g=9.8m/s^2

Answers

Answer: The weight of the object is 29.4 N

Explanation:

To calculate the weight of the object, we use the equation:

[tex]W=m\times g[/tex]

where,

m = mass of the object = 3 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.8m/s^2[/tex]
