The maximum theoretical efficiency of the system is the one corresponding to the efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between the same temperatures of the system:
\eta=1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}
where T_c and T_h are the cold and hot temperatures, respectively.
In our problem, T_c=300 K and T_h=450 K, therefore the maximum theoretical efficiency is
\eta=1- \frac{300 K}{450 K}=0.33
So, 33%.

It's 12.1 m/s, assuming that's the launch velocity that's given.
For projectile motion, velocity's y-component is parabolic/quadratic. It's x-component is constant, so you don't need to know it.

a DJ uses a 110-volt outlet to plug in a strobe light. if the current flowing through the light is 0.050 amps, how much resistan
tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x
