An inventor claims to have developed an engine that does not use fuel but operates as a power cycle at steady state while receiv

ing energy by heat transfer from the surrounding atmosphere and discharging energy by heat transfer to the surrounding atmosphere. This would be an excellent project to invest in.

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

The project would require energy in order to be able to draw energy from its sorrounding, meaning it will require more energy input compared to other systems. Also, drawing heat energy from the envoirment might not be a reliable energy source. All this also counteract energy conversion law.

Answer:

Yes, according to the limited information provided, this would be an excellent project to invest in. But we will need to calculate efficiency of the engine to scientifically prove the claim.

The 10-kg block slides down 2 m on the rough surface with kinetic friction coefficient μk = 0.2. What is the work done by the fr
Rashid [163]

Answer:

153.2 J

Explanation:

Let's first list our given parameters;

mass (m) of the block = 10 kg

which slides down ( i.e displacement) = 2 m

kinetic coefficient of friction (μk) = 0.2

In the diagram shown below;  if we take an integral look at the component of force in the direction of the displacement; we have

F_x= Fcos 40°

F_x= 100 (cos 40°)

F_x= 76.60 N

Workdone by the friction force can now be determined as:

W = F_x × displacement

W = 76.60 × 2

W = 153.2 J

∴  the work done by the friction force = 153.2 J

kap26 [50]

Answer:

\epsilon = 0.028*0.3 = 0.0084

Explanation:

\frac{P_1}{\rho} + \frac{v_1^2}{2g} +z_1 +h_p - h_l =\frac{P_2}{\rho} + \frac{v_2^2}{2g} +z_2

where P_1 = P_2 = 0

V1 AND V2  =0

Z1 =0

h_P = \frac{w_p}{\rho Q}

=\frac{40}{9.8*10^3*0.2} = 20.4 m

20.4 - (f [\frac{l}{d}] +kl) \frac{v_1^2}{2g} = 10

we know thaTV  =\frac{Q}{A}

V = \frac{0.2}{\pi \frac{0.3^2}{4}} =2.82 m/sec

20.4 - (f \frac{60}{0.3} +14.5) \frac{2.82^2}{2*9.81} = 10

f  = 0.0560

Re =\frac{\rho v D}{\mu}

Re =\frac{10^2*2.82*0.3}{1.12*10^{-3}} =7.53*10^5

fro Re = 7.53*10^5 and f = 0.0560

\frac{\epsilon}{D] = 0.028

\epsilon = 0.028*0.3 = 0.0084

puteri [66]

Given:

outer radius, R' = 10 m

inner diameter, d = 2 m

inner radius, R = \frac{d}{2} = 1 m

surface temperature, T' = 20^{\circ}C

Thermal conductivity of soil, K = 0.52 W/mK

Solution:

To calculate the thermal temperature of conductor, T, we know amount of heat, Q is given by :

Q =  \frac{T - T'}{\frac{R' - R}{4\pi KRR'}}

500 =  (T - 20)\frac{4\pi \times0.52\times 1\times 10}{10 - 1}

T = 68.86 +20 = 88.865^{\circ}C  

Therefore, outside surface temperature is 88.865^{\circ}C

An electric field is expressed in rectangular coordinates by E = 6x2ax + 6y ay +4az V/m.Find:a) VMN if point M and N are specifi
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a.) -147V

b.) -120V

c.) 51V

Explanation:

a.) Equation for potential difference is the integral of the electrical field from a to b for the voltage V_ba = V(b)-V(a).

b.) The problem becomes easier to solve if you draw out the circuit. Since potential at Q is 0, then Q is at ground. So voltage across V_MQ is the same as potential at V_M.

c.) Same process as part b. Draw out the circuit and you'll see that the potential a point V_N is the same as the voltage across V_NP added with the 2V from the other box.

Honestly, these things take practice to get used to. It's really hard to explain this.
