"A trooper is moving due south along the freeway at a speed of 28 m/s. At time t = 0, a red car passes the trooper. The red car moves with constant velocity of 40 m/s southward. At the instant the trooper's car is passed, the trooper begins to speed up at a constant rate of 2.9 m/s2. What is the maximum distance ahead of the trooper that is reached by the red car?"

Steam is generated in a boiler of a cogeneration plant at 10 mpa and 450°c at a steady rate of 5 kg/s. in normal operation, steam expands in a turbine to a pressure of 0.5 mpa and is then routed to the process heater, where it supplies the process heat. steam leaves the process heater as a saturated liquid and is pumped to the boiler pressure. in this mode, no steam passes through a condenser, which operates at 20 kpa. (a) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate at which process heat is supplied in this mode. (b) determine the power produced in the turbine and the rate of process heat supplied if only 60 percent of the steam is routed to the process heater and the remainder is expanded to the condenser pressure.
