Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. W area (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while Z area 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.

Masja [62]

As we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we know that

$d_0 = 6 cm$

$f = 10 cm$

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{10}$

$d_i = -15 cm$

so image will form on left side of lens at a distance of 15 cm

This image will be magnified and virtual image

Question

nataly862011 [7]

The density of a material is constant and it is given by the ratio of the mass to the volume of the material

The mass of the liquid and the full bottle ae

The mass of the liquid is 450 g

The mass of the filled bottle is 530 grams

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

The given parameters are;

Volume of the bottle, V = Half litre

Mass of the bottle, $m_b$ = 80 g

The volume of liquid in the bottle when filled, V = 500 cm³

The density of the olive oil with which the bottle is filled, ρ = 0.9 g/cm³

a. Required:

To calculate the mass of oil in the bottle

Solution:

The volume of oil in the bottle when the bottle is filled, V = 500 cm³

$Density, \ \rho = \dfrac{Mass}{Volume} = \dfrac{m}{V}$

The mass of the liquid, m = ρ × V

∴ m = 0.9 g/cm³ × 500 cm³ = 450 g

The mass of the liquid, m = 450 g

b. The mass of the oil in the bottle, m = grams

The mass of the full bottle, $m_{filled}$ = m + $m_b$

∴ $m_{filled}$ = 450 g + 80 g = 530 g

The mass of the full bottle, $m_{filled}$ = 530 grams

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane.

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

Explanation:

Just to make it clear, the question is as follows from what I understand.

A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane. You can neglect air resistance.

Just after the cargo has fallen out:

a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.

b. The cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed.

c. Neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.

d. The plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.

e. Both the cargo and the plane speed up.

And we are requested to choose the right answer under the given conditions. We know the glider has no motor, then it must be in free fall movement, then it is experiencing some force that pulls it to the from due to the gravity effect on it, and a force in general is calculated by

F=m*a, m:= mass of the object, a:= acceleration.

Here we are only considering the horizontal effect of the forces, then since the mass is reduced the acceleration must increase to compensate and maintain the equilibrium of the forces, then the glider being lighter can travel faster due to the acceleration. On the other hand by the time the cargo left the glider there was no acceleration and the speed it had at the moment he left the plane continues, then the cargo does not change its speed, then horizontally speaking the answer would be a. The plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.
