The discovery which Carnot made was that THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE HOT AND THE COLD RESERVOIRS DETERMINE HOW WELL A HEAT ENGINE WOULD WORK.
Sadi Carnot was a French engineer, He proposed a theoretical thermodynamic cycle in 1824. In his cycle, Said hold that the efficiency of a heat engine depends on the temperature difference between its hot reservoir and cold reservoir.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

9 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Avi is, $m=40\ kg$

Spring constant is, $k=176,400\ N/m$

Compression in the spring is, $x=20\ cm=0.20\ m$

Let the maximum height reached be 'h' m.

Now, as the spring is compressed, there is elastic potential energy stored in the spring. This elastic potential energy is transferred to Avi in the form of gravitational potential energy.

So, by law of conservation of energy, decrease in elastic potential energy is equal to increase in gravitational potential energy.

Decrease in elastic potential energy is given as:

$EPE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\EPE=\frac{1}{2}\times 176400\times (0.20)^2\\EPE=88200\times 0.04=3528\ J$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is given as:

$GPE=mgh=40\times 9.8\times h=392h$

Now, increase in gravitational potential energy is equal decrease in elastic potential energy. Therefore,

$392h=3528\\\\h=\frac{3528}{392}\\\\h=9\ m$

Therefore, Avi will reach a maximum height of 9 meters.
