Kinetic energy is calculated as such: 
| therefore, 
Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:
the claim is not valid or reasonable.
Explanation:
In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:
η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂
where,
η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?
T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K
T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K
Therefore,
η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K
η(max) = 0.25 = 25%
Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:
η = W/Q
where,
W = Net Work = 250 KJ
Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ
Therefore,
η = 250 KJ/750 KJ
η = 0.333 = 33.3 %
η > η(max)
The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.
<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
<span>a. the amount of matter in a given volume </span>
<span>The charged balloon will stick to a neutral wall because of the Static Electricity:
</span>
The matter is formed by atoms and these atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons (the electrons have a negative charge, the protons have a positive charge and the neutrons have no charge).
As the balloon is charged (It gained electrons), and the charge of the same sign repel each other, when it approaches the wall, the electrons of this wall will move away, and the positive charges (protons) will remain in the nearest area to the balloon. As the charges of different signs are attracted, the balloon will be stuck to the wall.
