In a steam engine the pressure and volume of steam satisfy the equation pv1.4 = k, where k is a constant. (this is true for adiabatic expansion, that is, expansion in which there is no heat transfer between the cylinder and its surroundings.) calculate the work done by the engine during a cycle when the steam starts at a pressure of 140 lb/in2 and a volume of 100 in3 and expands to a volume of 600 in3. (round your answer to two decimal places.)

What happens when a rubber rod is rubbed with a piece of fur?

At 20∘c, the hole in an aluminum ring is 2.800 cm in diameter. you need to slip this ring over a steel shaft that has a room-temperature diameter of 2.804 cm . 1. to what common temperature should the ring and the shaft be heated so that the ring will just fit onto the shaft? coefficients of linear thermal expansion of steel and aluminum are 12×10−6 k−1 and23×10−6 k−1 respectively.

Astone is dropped from the upper observation deck of a tower, 250 m above the ground. (assume g = 9.8 m/s2.) (a) find the distance (in meters) of the stone above ground level at time t. h(t) = (b) how long does it take the stone to reach the ground? (round your answer to two decimal places.) s (c) with what velocity does it strike the ground? (round your answer to one decimal place.) m/s (d) if the stone is thrown downward with a speed of 2 m/s, how long does it take to reach the ground? (round your answer to two decimal places.) s
