A carnot engine operates between two heat reservoirs at temperatures th and tc. an inventor proposes to increase the efficiency

by running one engine between th and an intermediate temperature t and a second engine between t and tc using as input the heat expelled by the first engine.

The efficiency of the first Carnot engine is 
n1 = 1 - Th/T
The efficiency of the second Carnot engine is
n2 = 1 - T/Tc
The total efficiency of the engines put in series is
n = 1 - Th/Tc

If Pete ( mass=90.0kg) weights himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the surface of the earth is he
shutvik [7]

Answer: 9938.8 km

Explanation:

1 pound-force = 4.48 N

30.0 pounds-force = 134.4 N

The force of gravitation between Earth and object on the surface of is given by:

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2} = mg

Where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the object, R (6371 km) is the radius of the Earth.

At height, h above the surface of the Earth, the weight of the object:

(mg)'= \frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}

we need to find "h"

taking the ratio of two:

\frac{mg}{(mg)'}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{90kg \times 9.8 m/s^2}{134.4 N}=\frac{(R+h)^2}{R^2}\\ \Rightarrow 6.56 R^2= (R+h)^2 \Rightarrow h= (2.56-1)R\\ \Rightarrow h = 1.56 R = 1.56 \times 6371 km = 9938. 8 km

Hence, Pete would weigh 30 pounds at 9938.8 km above the surface of the Earth.

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the curre
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

       i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

            S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement
