During athletics, a boy slipped on a banana peel on the ground and fell. This is because?? A) there was no friction B) the ground was hard C) the banana peel was soft D) the ground was sandy E) the frictional force was too much

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)

Asatellite component is in the shape of a cube with 10cm edges, has an evenly distributed mass of 2 kg and one bolt hole at each of four corners. if the maximum predicted random vibration environment is 10 grms, what bolt size would be a good choice for restraint? what other factors might drive bolt size besides force/stress?

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
