Two 10-ft3 adiabatic tanks are connected by a valve. initially, one tank contains water at 450 psia with 10 percent quality, while the second contains water at 15 psia with 75 percent quality. the valve is now opened, allowing the water vapor from the high-pressure tank to move to the low-pressure tank until the pressure in the two becomes equal. determine the final pressure and the final mass in each tank.

Astudent weighing 700 n climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. the average power expended by the student to overcome gravity is most nearly

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.

Arope has one end tied to a vertical support. you hold the other end so that the rope is horizontal. if you move the end of the rope back and forth with a frequency of 4 hz, the transverse wave you produce has a wavelength of 0.5 m. what is the speed of the wave in the rope?
