Answer:-24,5m/s

Explanation: what we have here is a UALM with these gravity as acceleration (-9.8 m/s^2). The initial position is 25 m and initial speed is 10m/s.

Speed and gravity are increasing in the opposite direction, speed upwards and gravity downwards, while the position is also upwards, depending on your reference system.

The first thing I need to know is the maximum high it will reach.

Hmax=- S(0)^2/2g=

S= speed.

0= initial

G= gravity

Hm= 100/19,6= 5.1 m

So, the ball will go 5,1 m higher than the initial position, and from there it will fall free.

Then, I need to know how long it takes to fall. For that we use UALM equation:

X(t)= X(0) + S(0)*t + (A*t^2)/2.

X: position

S: speed

A: acceleration

T:time

0: initial

0 = 25m +10*t -(9.8 * t^2)/2

Solving the quadratic equation we get

T= 3,5 sec. ( Negative value for time is impossible)

So now we know that the ball to go up and then fall needs 3,5 sec.

Let's see how long it takes to go up:

30,1=25+10*t-4,9*t^2

0=-5,1+10*t-4,9*t^2

T= 1 sec. So it will take 1 sec to the ball to reach the maximum high and 0=speed and then it'll fall during the resting 2,5 sec

Finally, to know the speed just before it touches the ground, we use the following formula:

A= (St-S0)/t

-9.8m/s^2 = (St- 0m/s)/ 2,5s

-24,5 m/s= St

-24,5 m/s is the speed at 3,5 sec, which is the time just before falling

A Carnot engine has a power output of 150 kW. The engine operates between two reservoirs at 20.0°C and 500°
Nookie1986 [14]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>
