“. . their publication was senseless. the book is an indeterminate heap of contradictory drafts. i examined it once: in the third chapter the hero dies, in the fourth he is alive . .”
considering its prefix, syntax, and context, what does indeterminate mean in this excerpt from “the garden of forking paths”?

    5.5 n======    assuming that      we have      m = 0.145 kg    a = 38 m/s²therefore    5.51 n, but two significant figures.final answer: 5.5 n

An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to move. 

If the heat engine is a perfect carnot cycle engine, thenefficiency = (t2-t1)/t2   where t1=temperature of cold reservoir ( ° k) = 135            t2=temperature of hot reservoir ( ° k)   = 325thereforeefficiency = (t2-t1)/t2 = (325-135)/325 = 0.5846 = 58%  note: this is the theoretical maximum efficiency of a perfect heat engine.   real-life engines do not achieve this value.
