A heat engine (efficiency=40%) does 20 kJ of mechanical work. How much is the heat supplied to this engine in calories?

Answer» EFFICIENCY = 40%

\eta= \frac{work\ done}{<klux>HEAT</klux>\ <klux>SUPPLIED</klux>}\\ \\ \Rightarrow 0.4= \frac{20\ kJ}{Heat\ supplied} \\ \\ \Rightarrow Heat\ Supplied= \frac{20}{0.4} =50\ kJ

1\ calorie = 4.184\ J\\50 kJ =  \frac{50}{4.184}\ <klux>KCAL</klux>=11.95\ kcal

So 11.95 kcal heat should be supplied.

Y diesel engine is efficient than petrol engine ???

Answer»

The efficiency of an engine is determined from its COMPRESSION RATIO. Compression ratio is the ratio of the maximum volume of the combustion CHAMBER to its minimum volume. The more the compression ratio, the more is the efficiency. SINCE diesel engine OPERATES at higher compression ratio than petrol engine, it has higher efficiency.

6.

Explain presbyopia ???????????

Answer»

Its nothing more than a problem associated with eye lens and eye sight as we age up. don't you know that our old aged grand parents find it very difficult to read and see, the main reason behind it is PRESBYOPIA. the crystalline lens of your eye loses its FLEXIBILITY. as you get old your lens can no longer change shape and so cannot see close objects and this condition is presbyopia.
P.S: speciality of our lens is that it can change shape ACCORDING to focus on distant or nearer objects-short words power of accommodation. you'll LOSE it in the case of presbyopia.

Why is sun colour is red while sunrise and sunset

Answer»

During sunrise n sunset, when the sun is at horizon, the distance of sun from EARTH is MUCH........therefore the light rays coming from sun with low wavelengths scatter VRY far from the earth n red light which has the  highest wavelength experiences least scattering n TRAVELLS a LARGE distance and as a result, reaches our eyes n we see the sun red.

8.

Why is sky is blue ???????????

Answer»

Blue COLOUR has very less wavelength as a result it scatters the most..n sky APPEARS blue..From the relation Is= 1/wavelength^4 where Is means SCATTERING of LIGHT .

1.A truck weighing 1000kgf changes its speed from 36km/hr to 72 km/hr in 2 mins. calculate:i) the work done by the engine .ii) its power.2. A body of mass 60kg has the momentum 3000kg m/s. Calculate:i) the kinetic energy.ii) the speed of the body

Answer»

1. 
mass of truck = 1000 kg
u = 36 km/h = 10 m/s
v = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
time = 2 min = 2*60 = 120 s
acceleration = (v-u)/t = (20-10)/120 = 1/12 m/s²
force = ma = 1000*(1/12) = 1000/12 N
s=(v²-u²)/2G = (400-100)/2*10 = 15m
Work DONE = Fs = (1000/12)*15 = 1250 J
Power = W/t = 1250/120 = 104.1 J/s

2.
mass = 60kg
momentum = 3000 kgm/s
KE = p²/2m = 3000²/(2*60) = 75000 J = 75 kJ
velocity = p/m = 3000/60 = 50 m/s

Derive for parallel connection equivalent resistance(r) = \frac{R1*R2}{R1+R2}

Answer» SEE let there be n resistors of resistance r1,r2,r3 ...... rn 

so in parallel connection the potential difference remains same 

but the current spreads in different resisters in i1,i2,i3 ...... in

so let the total potential difference be V current be I and equivalent resistance be R

so using junction rule I = i1 + i2 + i3 + . . . + in

so we KNOW I = \frac{V}{R}  from OHM's Law

so \frac{V}{R}= \frac{V}{r1}+\frac{V}{r2}+\frac{V}{r3}+....+\frac{V}{rn}

cancelling V from both sides we GET 


\frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{r1}+\frac{1}{r2}+\frac{1}{r3}+....+\frac{1}{rn}

What do you mean by sea breeze and land breeze?

Answer»

SEA BREEZE- during the day the land gets heated faster than the water .
the air over the land becomes HOTTER and rise up . the cooler air from the sea rushes in towards the land to take its place the WARM air from the land moves towards the sea to complete the cycle. the air from the sea is called sea breeze.
LAND BREEZE- at night it is EXACTLY the REVERSE  the water cools down more slowly than the land  so the cool air from the land moves towards the sea this called as land breeze.
THANKU..

A person standing near a railway line hears two distinct sounds of a train between time interval 2s.how much is the distance of the train?Velocity of steel=16 times velocity of air{340 m/s}

Answer»

If the person standing near a RAILWAY line hears two DISTINCT sounds of a train, then the sounds are - one travelling through steel and the another travelling through air.

Let the distance of train be d from the person.
speed of SOUND in air = 340 m/s
speed of sound in steel = 340 × 16 = 5440 m/s

time taken by sound travelling through steel to reach the person = t_s
time taken by sound travelling through air to reach the person = t_a

time= \frac{distance}{speed}\\ \\ t_s= \frac{d}{5440} \\ \\t_a= \frac{d}{340}

GIVEN that t_a - t_s=2

\frac{d}{340}-\frac{d}{5440}=2\\ \\d( \frac{1}{340} - \frac{1}{5440} )=2\\ \\d(\frac{16-1}{5440})=2\\ \\d=\frac{2*5440}{15}=725.33\ m

Distance of train is 725.33 m.

A cricket ball of mass 150g is moving with a velocity of 12m/s and hitted by a bat so that the ball is turned back with a velocity of 20m/s. if the duration of contact btw the ball and bat is 0.01s.then:1. the impulse is----------------------

Answer»

<P>The impulse of the ball is 4.8 Ns.

Given data:

Initially, velocity of the ball = 12 m/s  

Final velocity = 20 m/s

Mass, m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

To find:

Impulse = ?

SOLUTION:

\text {Impulse} =F \Delta t

We KNOW that,

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

Where,

p is momentum

Therefore,

\therefore \text {Impulse}=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} \times \Delta t

\Rightarrow \text {Impluse}=\Delta p

\Delta p=m v_{2}-m v_{1}=m\left(v_{1}-v_{2}\right)

\Delta p=0.15 \times(-20-12)

Since, the "rebound velocity" is taken negative in MOTION as the direction is changed.

Thus,

Impulse = 4.8 Ns

I need 20 points about magnets

Answer» Hammering or heating a magnet in a hot flame will cause it to loose its magnetic PROPERTIES. In both scenarios the MOLECULES lose their north-south alignment and get arranged in random directions.All magnets have a north and south pole, including all of our custom promotional magnets. Opposite poles attract while the same poles repel each other.Many scientists believe the Earth's magnetic field helps to guide migrating birds.Over 80% off all households in the US have promotional magnets on their refrigerator.The worlds largest magnet is planet Earth. Earths hot liquid core contains iron which, as it moves, creates an electric current that generates a magnetic field around the planet.Neodymium magnets (a type of very strong rare-earth magnets) are known to repel sharks. While we don't currently sell neodymium magnets we do have a large collection of SUPER strong magnets.Today's high speed trains use magnets to float each car, reducing friction and allowing the train to run very efficiently.Magnets can be found in many common household items such as telephones, computers, stereos, refrigerators, TVs, and VCRs.A coil of wire with an electric current flowing through it becomes magnetized.The pull of a magnet is strongest at the north and south pole.Rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made.Legend has it that magnets were first discovered around 4,000 years ago when a shepherd named Magnes got the nails in the sole of his shoe stuck to a magnetic rock, later called magnetite.Magnets are usually made of steel or iron. Special alloys of iron, nickel, copper, COBALT, and aluminum can also be made into magnets.Earth, Saturn, JUPITER, Neptune, and Uranus are the only planets in our solar system with magnetic fields.

3 equal charges which has magnitude of 2×10^6 coulomb is placed at the corners of right angled triangle of sides 3, 4, 5find the force on the charge at right angle corner.

Answer»

See the diagram. 
the force acting on charge at B due to charge at A is
F_1= \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}  \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} =9*10^9* \frac{(2*10^6)^2}{4^2}=2.25*10^{21}N
It ACTS in the DIRECTION from A to B.

the force acting on charge at B due to charge at C is
F_2= \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} =9*10^9* \frac{(2*10^6)^2}{3^2}=4*10^{21}N
It acts in the direction from C to B.

Since F₁ and F₂ are at right angles to each other, the RESULTANT F is given by

F= \sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}\\F = \sqrt{(2.25*10^{21})^2+(4*10^{21})^2} \\F= \sqrt{21.0625*10^{42}} \\F=\boxed{4.59*10^{21}\ N}

a ball of mass 200 g falls from a height of 2.0 m . what is the kinetic energy of the ball when it reaches the ground ? take g = 9.8 m/s^2

Answer» m = 200 G = 200/1000 kg = 200 * 10^-3 
H = 2 m
 g = 9.8 m/s
to calculate k.e. of the ball reaches the ground = ?

P.E. at the top = P.E. at the ground 
                        = MGH 
                         = ( 200 * 10^-3 )9.8 * 2
                         = 3.92 joules
therefore , K.E. of the ball when it reaches the ground is same as P.E. at the top
                          => 3.92 J
