The maximum efficiency is 10%

Explanation:

The maximum efficiency of a machine is given by:

\eta=1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}

where

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the machine in this problem, we have:

T_H=400K is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C=360K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

substituting, we find the max efficiency:

\eta=1-\frac{360}{400}=0.1

So, the efficiency is 0.10 (10%).

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
torisob [31]
There's no such thing as "stationary in space".  But if the distance
between the Earth and some stars is not changing, then (A) w<span>avelengths
measured here would match the actual wavelengths emitted from these
stars. </span><span>

</span><span>If a star is moving toward us in space, then (A) Wavelengths measured
would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted from that star.

</span>In order to decide what's actually happening, and how that star is moving, 
the trick is:  How do we know the actual wavelengths the star emitted ?

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?
Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.
