What dissolves the heat of a jalapeño pepper

Erosion of the beach is normally a slow process. however, in certain situations, large chunks of shore may wash out to sea. what could cause this to happen?

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

You throw a baseball directly upward at time =0 at an initial speed of 14.9 m/s. what is the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand? ignore air resistance and take =9.80 m/s2.
