The thrust of a certain boat’s engine generates a power of 10kW as the boat moves at constant speed 10ms through the water of a lake. The magnitude of the drag force that is exerted on the boat’s hull as it is moving through the water is directly proportional to the boat's speed and is given by the equation F=kv. The increase in power needed for the boat to move through the lake at a constant speed of 12ms is : a. 0W b. 1440 W c. 4400 W 10,000 W e. 4,400 W

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

Gas cloud 1 is likely to form a star. gas cloud 2 is not. based on this information, match the given conditions with each cloud
