A Carnot engine operates between reservoirs at 600 K and 300 K. (a) Determine the maximum possible efficiency. (b) If the engine absorbs 2500 J from the hot reservoir, determine the work output. (c) Explain why no real engine can exceed this efficiency. (d) If the cold reservoir temperature increases, explain what happens to efficiency without recalculating.

A research probe lands on a newly discovered planet. The probe contains:a spring-mass system used to measure oscillations,a gas thermometer,and a motion sensor that tracks vertical motion.The probe drops a small mass from rest from a height of h, measures the local gravitational acceleration g, and then uses the same mass attached to a spring to study oscillatory motion. During the experiment, the temperature of the environment increases significantly.Answer the following:(a)Using calculus-based kinematics, derive an expression for the speed of the falling object just before it hits the ground if air resistance is negligible.(b)The mass is attached to a spring of spring constant k. Derive the angular frequency and period of oscillation of the system.(c)Suppose the temperature increase causes the spring constant to decrease slightly because the material softens. Explain qualitatively and mathematically how this affects the period of oscillation.
