Answer:
0.237 (23.7 %)
Explanation:
The thermal efficiency of an engine is given by:

where
W is the useful work output of the engine
is the heat in input
Here we have:

and the work done is the total heat in input minus the heat exhausted:

So, the efficiency is
(23.7 %)
A) Using:
2as = v² - u², where v will be 0 at max height
s = -(160)² / 2 x -32.174
s = 397.8 ft
b) Using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²
256 = 160t - 16.1t²
solving for t,
t = 2.0, t = 7.9
Now, v = u + at, for both times:
v(2) = 160 - 32.174(2)
v(2) = 95.7 ft/sec on the way up
v(7.9) = 160 - 32.174(7.9)
v(7.9) = -94.3 ft/sec; 94.3 ft/sec on the way down
c) -32.174 ft/s², which is the acceleration due to gravity.
d) s = 0
0 = 160t - 1/2 x 32.174t²
t = 9.94 seconds
They were both odd and obsessive
