Pretty sure it is clockwise if I am not mistaken
Kinetic energy increases, potencial energy decreases,
kinetic energy + potential energy = energy, energy can not be destroyed, just transformed
Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.
Answer: ME= E total - E thermal
From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:
efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100
Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)
For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%
For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40%
For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20%
Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
