An automobile engine, which converts the chemical energy of gasoline to mechanical energy, is between 20 and 30 percent efficient. In other words, only 20 to 30 percent of the original energy stored in the chemical bonds of the gasoline molecules is actually transformed into mechanical energy, or work. This is an example of: the first law of thermodynamics the second law of thermodynamics energy flow in the environment potential energy

With the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 1.90
