Question

Physics

1. Real heat engines, like the gasoline engine in a car, alwayshave some friction

between their moving parts, although lubricants keep thefriction to a minimum. Would a

heat engine with completely frictionless parts be 100%efficient? Why or why not? Does the

answer depend on whether or not the engine runs on the Carnotcycle? Again, why or why

not?

2.Some critics of biological evolution claim that it violatesthe second law of thermo-

dynamics, since evolution involves simple life forms developinginto more complex and more

highly ordered organisms. Explain why this is not a validarguement against evolution.
