The specific heat capacity of silver is 0.06 cal/g°C. How much energy is needed to flow into a 5-gram sample to change its temperature from 10°C to 11°C?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Ahypothesis is? close agreement by competent observers of observations of the same phenomena. a guess that has been tested over and over again and always found to be true. an educated guess that has yet to be proven by experiment. the long side of a right triangle. a synthesis of a large collection of information that includes guesses.

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?
