If an automobile had a 100% efficiency, transferring all of the fuel's energy to work?

would the engine be warm to your touch? would its exhaust heat the surrounding air? would it make any noise? would it vibrate? would any of its fuel go unused?

A physics instructor demonstrates energy conservation by releasing a heavy pendulum bob

A physics instructor demonstrates energy conservation by releasing a heavy pendulum bob, as shown in the sketch, allowing it to swing to and fro. What would happen if, in his exuberance, he gave the bob a slight shove as it left his nose? Explain

a farmer urges, a horse to pull a wagon. The horse refuses saying to try would be futile for it would flout Newton's third Law.

a farmer urges, a horse to pull a wagon. The horse refuses saying to try would be futile for it would flout Newton's third Law. The horse concludes that she can't exert a greater force on the wagon than the wagon exerts on her and therefore won't be able to accelerate the wagon. What is your explanation to convince the horse to pull?
