Answer:
the claim is not valid or reasonable.
Explanation:
In order to test the claim we will find the maximum and actual efficiencies. maximum efficiency of a heat engine can be found as:
η(max) = 1 - T₁/T₂
where,
η(max) = maximum efficiency = ?
T₁ = Sink Temperature = 300 K
T₂ = Source Temperature = 400 K
Therefore,
η(max) = 1 - 300 K/400 K
η(max) = 0.25 = 25%
Now, we calculate the actual frequency of the engine:
η = W/Q
where,
W = Net Work = 250 KJ
Q = Heat Received = 750 KJ
Therefore,
η = 250 KJ/750 KJ
η = 0.333 = 33.3 %
η > η(max)
The actual efficiency of a heat engine can never be greater than its Carnot efficiency or the maximum efficiency.
<u>Therefore, the claim is not valid or reasonable.</u>
Gravity affects weight of an object
Its weight reduces as it moves away from the center as gravity is strongest near the core and reduces as you move away

An atom. Hope this helped
It will decay into Silicon-30. Because alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 4, you minus sulfur's atomic number by 2 and get silicon. And the atomic mass is 34 - 4 which equals 30.
