Question

Write the main points of efficiency of Carnot engine.

✓

Answer

Main points of efficiency :
(i) Efficiency does not depend on the working substance.
(ii) Efficiency is greater when the temperature difference between source and sink is greater. It occurs, but it is always less than $100 \%$.
(iii) The efficiency of the Carnot engine depend only on the temperature of the source and the sink
(iv) All reversible (ideal) engines working between two equal temperature have the same efficiency.

Does the escape speed of a body from the earth depend on (a) the mass of the body, (b) the location from where it is projected, (c) the direction of projection, (d) the height of the location from where the body is launched?

A man runs across the roof-top of a tall building and jumps horizontally with the hope of landing on the roof of next building which is of lower height than the first. If his speed is 9m/ s, the (horizontal) distance between the two building is 10m and the height difference is 9m, will he able to land on the next building? Substantiate your answer.
Take g = 10m/ s².

A ball of mass m, moving with a speed 2v₀, collides inelastically (e > 0) with an identical ball at rest. Show that:
For head-on collision, both the balls move forward.

A human body excretes (removes by waste discharge, sweating, etc.) certain materials by a law similar to radioactivity. If technetium is injected in some form in a human body, the body excretes half the amount in 24 hours. A patient is given an injection containing ⁹⁹Tc. This isotope is radioactive with a half-life of 6 hours. The activity from the body just after the injection is $6\mu\text{Ci}.$ How much time will elapse before the activity falls to $3\mu\text{Ci}?$

If the earth has a mass nine times and radius twice that of the planet Mars, calculate the maximum velocity required by a rocket to pull out of the gravitational force of Mars. Given escape velocity on the surface of earth is 11.2km/sec.

The sun is a hot plasma (ionized matter) with its inner core at a temperature exceeding $10^7 K$. and its outer surface at a temperature of about 6000 K . At these high temperature, no substance remains in a solid or liquid phase. In what range do you expect the mass density of the Sun to be, in the range of densities of solids and liquids or gases? Check if your guess is correct from the following data : mass of the Sun $=2.0 \times 10^{30} kg$. radius of the Sun $=7.0 \times 10^8 m$.

Let $\varepsilon_1$ and $\varepsilon_2$ be the angles made by $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}$ and $-\overrightarrow{\text{A}}$ with the positive X-axis. Show that $\tan\varepsilon_1=\tan\varepsilon_2.$ Thus, giving tane does not uniquely determine the direction of $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}.$

If several forces act on a particle, the total torque on the particle may be obtained by first finding the resultant force and then taking torque of this resultant. Prove this. Is this result valid for the forces acting on different particles of a body in such a way that their lines of action intersect at a common point?
