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

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

One year

Explanation:

In Florida, once you have had your learner's license for 1 year without any traffic convictions, you will receive an intermediate license.

The rule for Florida is that if a driver drives safely without any conviction during that year of his trial, he will receive an intermediate license. This means that he is now completely eligible and safe to drive around Florida's roads.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.

Which are methods of reducing exposure to ionizing radiation? Check all that apply.
gulaghasi [49]
<h2>Answer:Answer: using a lead apron during medical X-rays, using a short burst of X-rays to take an image, taking an image of the smallest possible area</h2>

Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms in the form of electromagnetic radiation (gamma rays or X-rays) or particles (alpha and beta particles or neutrons).

This is a product of the spontaneous disintegration of atoms, where the surplus energy emitted is a form of ionizing radiation.

In this context, people are exposed daily to ionizing radiation, both of natural origin (for example <u>radon</u> emanating from rocks and soil or <u>cosmic rays </u>that go through the Earth) or human, as for example by the generation of <u>nuclear energy</u> or for the <u>medical use of radiation</u> for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

In the latter case, the most common artificial sources of ionizing radiation are medical devices, such as X-ray machines.

In this regard, it should be noted that X-rays are dangerous, because they contain enough energy to trigger mutations in organs and tissues and cause cancer (<u>the damage caused depends on the dose received or absorbed</u>). That is why people who undergo X-rays should be exposed to a brief burst of this radiation to capture the image on a photographic film, as well as avoid taking very large areas of the body and the staff that works with them must be protected wearing a lead apron and be placed behind a thick concrete wall as these materials prevent these rays from passing.

An object is moving in the plane according to these parametric equations:
aniked [119]
A. The horizontal velocity is 
vx = dx/dt = π - 4πsin (4πt + π/2)
vx = π - 4π sin (0 + π/2)
vx = π - 4π (1)
vx = -3π

b. vy = 4π cos (4πt + π/2)
vy = 0

c. m = sin(4πt + π/2) / [<span>πt + cos(4πt + π/2)]

d. m = </span>sin(4π/6 + π/2) / [π/6 + cos(4π/6 + π/2)]

e. t = -1.0

f. t = -0.35

g. Solve for t 
vx = π - 4πsin (4πt + π/2) = 0
Then substitute back to solve for vxmax

h. Solve for t
vy = 4π cos (4πt + π/2) = 0
The substitute back to solve for vymax

i. s(t) = [<span>x(t)^2 + y</span>(t)^2]^(1/2)

h. s'(t) = d [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt

k and l. Solve for the values of t
d [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt = 0
And substitute to determine the maximum and minimum speeds.

Match each type of consequence with its resulting behavior change
ira [324]

Answer:

Janet stops parking in handicapped spaces after she gets a big parking ticket. - Positive Punishment

Peter’s recess is taken away to discourage him from getting into fights with the other children. - Negative Punishment

Ted increases paying his bills on time to avoid a late fee. - Negative Reinforcement

Sally increases the amount of work she completes to receive more pay. - Positive Reinforcement

Explanation:

In operant conditioning, the main principle is that behavior increases or decreases its frequency depending on whether it's reinforced or punished. A behavior can be reinforced by giving something the subject appreciates, like more pay for their work (positive reinforcement) or taking away something they dislike, like late fees (negative reinforcement). Punishments work the same way, you can give something the subject dislikes, like a parking ticket, (positive punishment) or taking away something they like recess for a child. (negative punishment).
