Answer:

326.25 kWh

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine is defined as the ratio of useful energy to that of the energy consumed by the machine.

Here, efficiency is given as 87% and the energy consumed by the computer is 375 kWh.

Efficiency, $\eta=\frac{\textrm{Useful energy}}{\textrm{Energy consumed}}$

Plug in the values of $\eta=0.87$ and 375 kWh for energy consumed. Solve for useful energy. This gives,

Efficiency, $\eta=\frac{\textrm{Useful energy}}{\textrm{Energy consumed}}\\ 0.87=\frac{\textrm{Useful energy}}{375}\\ \textrm{Useful energy}=0.87\times 375=326.25 \textrm{ kWh}$

Therefore, the useful energy provided by the computer is 326.25 kWh.

Heat engines were first envisioned and built during the industrial revolution. Explain the thermodynamics of a heat engine comme

Artyom0805 [142]

Heat engines were developed during industrial revolution.

Generally a heat engine contains three parts i.e source, sink and working substance.

The source of a heat engine is present at a higher temperature as compared to the sink. Due to the temperature difference, the heat will flow from source to sink through working substance.

Let us consider $T_{1}\ and\ T_{2}$ are the temperature of source and sink.

As the source is at higher temperature as compared to sink, heat will flow from source to sink.

$Let\ Q_{1}\ and\ Q_{2}$ are the heat provided by source and heat rejected to sink.

Hence, the work done by the working substance will be -

$W\ =\ Q_{1}-Q_{2}$

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of output to the input energy.

Here output = workdone [W]

Hence, the efficiency of a heat engine is calculated as -

$Efficiency\ [\eta]=\frac{W}{Q_{1}}$

$\eta\ =\frac{Q_{1}- Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}$

$=\ 1-\frac{Q_{2}} {Q_{1}}$

This is the expression for the efficiency of heat engine.

Here, all the heat absorbed by the working substance can not be converted to desired output. The efficiency of a heat engine can not be 100 percent. Some amount of heat is lost in the form of sound and heat due to the friction which is produced due to the relative motion between various parts of the machine.

Why is thesize saved prior to entering the for loop? 2. what is the running time of removefirsthalf if lst is an arraylist? 3. w

Mrac [35]

<span>After entering the loop, it should use the correct list size and the loop will be affected if the remove call changes the size of the list. If lst is an Arraylist the running time of removefirsthalf is O (n^2). So when the beginning is removed the next element will move forward. If lst is a LinkedList which is a dynamic structure the running is O (n) for removefirsthalf</span>

A stone falls from rest from the top of a cliff. A second stone is thrown downward from the same height 2.7 s later with an init

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:4.05 s

Explanation:

Given

First stone is drop from cliff and second stone is thrown with a speed of 52.92 m/s after 2.7 s

Both hit the ground at the same time

Let h be the height of cliff and it reaches after time t

$h=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

For second stone

$h=52.92\times \left ( t-2.7\right )+\frac{g\left ( t-2.7\right )^2}{2}$ ---2

Equating 1 &2 we get

$\frac{gt^2}{2}=52.92\times \left ( t-2.7\right )+\frac{g\left ( t-2.7\right )^2}{2}$

$\frac{g}{2}\left ( t-t+2.7\right )\left ( 2t-2.7\right )-\left ( t-2.7\right )52.92=0$

$13.23\times \left ( 2t-2.7\right )-\left ( t-2.7\right )52.92=0$

$26.46t-35.721-52.92t+142.884=0$

$t=4.05 s$

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

If the mass of a star is greater than 3 solar masses, it will create a black hole. If its mass is less, it will create a neutron star.

Explanation:

If a star's gravity is high enough, when it condenses on itself, it will form a black hole. Otherwise, it will create a large amount of highly dense matter, such as a neutron star. It can be said that if the mass of a star is greater than 3 solar masses, it will create a black hole. If its mass is less, it will create a neutron star.
