When a 219.39-kg crate is pulled across a frictionless horizontal floor with a force of 800 N, directed 30° above the horizontal, the magnitude of the normal force of the floor on the crate is:a. 1560 Nb. 380 Nc. 680 Nd. 580 Ne. 1750 N

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

Which is special about a dc circuit ? a. it has both series and parallel components b. it has only series or only parallel components c. charge moves in a single direction d. charge moves back and forth quickly

If a simple machine reduces the strength of a force, what must be increased?
