Answer:
Explanation:
Heat capacity A = 3 x heat capacity of B
initial temperature of A = 2 x initial temperature of B
TA = 2 TB
Let T be the final temperature of the system
Heat lost by A is equal to the heat gained by B
mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)
heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)
3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)
3 TA - 3 T = T - TB
6 TB + TB = 4 T
T = 1.75 TB
Answer:
Distance of Earth from the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons only the tilt is responsible for the change in seasons.
Explanation:
The Earth's tilt does cause the seasons but the distance from the sun and has nothing to do with the change in seasons. In June, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer the Earth is actually farthest from the Sun. In January, when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the Sun during the Northern Hemisphere winter the Earth is actually closest to the Sun. This is caused due to the elliptical orbit of the Earth. So, distance of Earth from the Sun has nothing to do with the seasons.
Answer:
a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is
0.18 J
b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Explanation:
Hi there!
a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:
EPE = 1/2 · k · x²
Where:
k = spring constant.
x = stretched lenght.
Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).
First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:
4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²
EPE = 0.18 J
When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J
b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:
EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²
EPE = 0.72 J
When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.
