This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.
Answer:
1. 571.43m/s
2. 142.9m and 342.9m
Explanation:
1.Take the difference in time.
1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds
Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.
400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.
2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.
0.5÷2= 0.25 secs
1.2÷2= 0.6 secs
multiply each with the velocity.
0.25×571.43=142.9m
0.6×571.43=342.9m
