Response: a) 0.04 kW = 40 W
b) 0.05
Explanation:
A)
The thermal efficiency of the power cycle is calculated as Input / Output
Input = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/min which translates to 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/(60s) = 10 kW + 14,400/60 kW.
Output equals 10 kW
Thus, Thermal Efficiency = Output / Input = 10 kW / 250 kW = 0.04 kW = 40 W
B)
Maximum Thermal Efficiency of the power cycle is defined as 1 - T1/T2
where T1 = 285 Kelvin
and T2 = 300 Kelvin
Thus, Maximum Thermal Efficiency = 1 - T1/T2 = 1 - 285/300 = 0.05
Answer:

Explanation:
We start with the fact that
Initially, the spacecraft was at rest, u = 0
The final velocity of the rocket is given as v = 11 m/s
The distance that the rocket covers during acceleration is given as d = 213 m
We seek to determine the acceleration that the occupants of the spacecraft experience during launch, which is derived from the principles of kinematics. By applying the
third motion equation we can find the acceleration.

Thus, the acceleration felt by those inside the spacecraft is
.
