A ball has a mass m and is dropped onto a surface from a height h. If the coefficient of restitution is e between the ball and the surface, determine the time needed for the ball to stop bouncing. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables mmm , hhh, eee, and appropriate constants.

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
