The formular for efficiency = change in temprature/ initial temprature
change in temprature = 600 - 400 = 200
efficiency = 200/600 = 0.333 = 33.3%'

The correct answer to the question is 33.3 % i.e the efficiency of the engine is 33.3 %.

CALCULATION:

The steam enters a turbine at 600 K.

Hence, the temperature of the source T = 600 K.

The steam is exhausted at a temperature 400 K.

Hence, the temperature of the sink T' = 400 K

We are asked to calculate the efficiency of the engine.

The efficiency of a heat engine whose source is at temperature T K and sink at T' is calculated as -

                        efficiency \eta\ =\ 1-\frac{T'}{T}

                                             =\ 1-\frac{400\ K}{600\ K}

                                             =\ 1-\frac{2}{3}

                                             =\ \frac{1}{3}

                                             =\ 33.3\%             [ans]

Hence, the efficiency of the engine is 33.3 %.

To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

man upward acceleration is 0.14m/s^2

Explanation:

given data:

mass of man = 72 kg

downward force = 360 N

The mass of man of weight 72 kg is hang from two sections of rope, one section pf rope ties around man waist and other section is ties in man hands. when he pulls down the rope  with 360 N force then each section of  rope pulls with 360 N

we know that

Weight= mass × gravity= 72kg × 9.8 = 705.6N

Force = mass× acceleration

Force= -705.6 + (2 × 358) = 10.4 N

acceleration = \frac{10.4}{72} = 0.14m/s^2

Substance X is placed in a container with substance Y. Both substances are fluids. Substance X initially sinks to the bottom of
Brut [27]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.

A metallic sphere of radius 2.0 cm is charged with +5.0-μC+5.0-μC charge, which spreads on the surface of the sphere uniformly.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential due to a charged metallic sphere having charge Q and radius r on its surface will be

v = k Q / r . On the surface and inside the metallic sphere , potential is the same . Outside the sphere , at a distance R from the centre  potential is

v = k Q / R

a ) On the surface of the shell , potential due to positive charge is

V₁ = \frac{9\times10^9\times5\times10^{-6}}{6\times10^{-2}}

On the surface of the shell , potential due to negative  charge is

V₁ = \frac{- 9\times10^9\times5\times10^{-6}}{6\times10^{-2}}

Total potential will be zero . they will cancel each other.

b ) On the surface of the sphere potential

= \frac{9\times10^9\times5\times10^{-6}}{2\times10^{-2}}

= 22.5 x 10⁵ V

On the surface of the sphere potential due to outer shell

= \frac{9\times10^9\times5\times10^{-6}}{5\times10^{-2}}

= -9 x 10⁵

Total potential

=( 22.5 - 9 ) x 10⁵

= 13.5 x 10⁵ V

c ) In the space between the two , potential will depend upon the distance of the point from the common centre .

d ) Inside the sphere , potential will be same as that on the surface that is

13.5 x 10⁵ V.

e ) Outside the shell , potential due to both positive and negative charge will cancel each other so it will be zero.
