It is not possible for a heat engine to be 100% efficient. The Laws of Thermodynamics explicitly explains that you can never transfer heat perfectly simply because during the flow of heat (either at low or high temperature) some of the initial input heat have been transformed into work.
Answer: 79.3 m/s
Explanation: Use the equation V^2-Vo^2=2a(ΔY)
We know that the initial velocity is 1.99 m/s, so that is our Vo. We also are given that the height of the deck is 321, so therefore, our delta y is 321. Finally, our acceleration is 9.81 m/s^2 since that is the acceleration of gravity during free fall. We are solving for the final velocity (V)
So, our equation is V^2-(1.99^2)=2(9.8)(321)
Next, V^2-(3.96)=6291.6
V^2=6295.56
Take the square root of both sides, and V=79.3 m/s
