Although light from the sun appears white, it is actually made up of a lot of different colors. this portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, we call white light is referred to as within the electromagnetic spectrum.

Acar of mass m goes around a banked curve of radius r with speed v. if the road is frictionless due to ice, the car can still negotiate the curve if the horizontal component of the normal force on the car from the road is equal in magnitude to 101) a) mv2/r b) mg/2. d) mg e) tan[v2/(eg)]

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?
