The heat engines among the motor engines.

Answer to Problem 1CQ
choice (a) an automobile engine and (c) a steam turbine.
Explanation of Solution
In
Write an expression for the heat input from the hot reservoir,
Here,
Conclusion:
In an automobile, an internal combustion engine is developing heat internally. This heat is converted into mechanical work. Since the heat is developed internally, extraction of heat from an external source does not occur. Thus, choice (a) is correct.
The steam turbine has an external combustion engine. Here, the engine obtains the energy to produce the superheated steam from heating outside of the turbine. Thus, choice (c) is correct.
In electrical motors, conversion of electrical energy to work occurs. Thus, choice (b) is incorrect.

- An object is placed 24.1 cm to the left of a diverging lens (f = -6.51 cm). A concave mirror (f= 14.8 cm) is placed 30.2 cm to the right of the lens to form an image of the first image formed by the lens. Find the final image distance, measured relative to the mirror. (b) Is the final image real or virtual? (c) Is the final image upright or inverted with respect to the original object?arrow_forwardConcept Simulation 26.4 provides the option of exploring the ray diagram that applies to this problem. The distance between an object and its image formed by a diverging lens is 5.90 cm. The focal length of the lens is -2.60 cm.
