<span>The maximum possible efficiency, i.e the efficiency of a Carnot engine , is give by the ratio of the absolute temperatures of hot and cold reservoir.
η_max = 1 - (T_c/T_h)
For this engine:
η_max = 1 - [ (20 +273)K/(600 + 273)K ] = 0.66 = 66%
The actual efficiency of the engine is 30%, i.e.
η = 0.3 ∙ 0.664 = 0.20 = 20 %
On the other hand thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done to the amount of heat absorbed from hot reservoir:
η = W/Q_h
So the heat required from hot reservoir is:
Q_h = W/η = 1000J / 0.20 = 5000J</span>
The alpha particle is emitted at 4235 m/s
Explanation:
We can use the law of conservation of momentum to solve the problem: the total momentum of the original nucleus must be equal to the total momentum after the alpha particle has been emitted. Therefore:
where:
is the mass of the original nucleus
is the initial velocity of the nucleus
is the mass of the alpha particle
is the final velocity of the alpha particle
is the mass of the daughter nucleus
is the final velocity of the nucleus
Solving for
, we find the final velocity of the alpha particle:

c) 
Explanation:
<h3>a) Impulse delivered to the ball</h3>
According to the Impulse-Momentum theorem we have the following:
(1)
Where:
is the impulse
is the change in momentum
is the final momentum of the ball with mass
and final velocity (to the right) 
is the initial momentum of the ball with initial velocity (to the left) 
So:

(7)
Where:
is the acceleration
is the length the ball was compressed
is the time
Finding
from (7):
