 <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>

Inga [223]
The answer is B.

A cannot be the answer is melting is a physical change. No chemical reaction took place.

B is the answer as it is a EXOTHERMIC REACTION so heat will be given off.

C cannot be the answer as dissolving is basically atoms becoming ions, not a chemical reaction whereby a reactant reacts with another reactant to form a product.

D cannot be the answer. Same reason as for why A is not the answer.

Cheers.

A 90kg person jumps from a 30m tower into a tub of water with a volume of 5m3 initially at 20°C. Assuming that all of the work d
Kryger [21]

Answer:

T₂ = 20.06 ° C

Explanation:

Given

P = 90 kg,  T₁ = 20 ° C,  h = 30 m,  c = 1.82 kJ / Kg * ° C

Using the formula to determine the final temperature of the water

T₂ = T₁ * P * h / Eₐ * c

The work done of the person to the water

Eₐ = 1000 kg / m³ * 5 m³ * 9.8 m / s²

Eₐ = 49000 N

T₂ = 20 ° C +[ (90 kg * 30m) / (49000 N * 1.82) ]

T₂ = 20.06 ° C
