. 1. Rank Three cars accelerate while moving in the positive rection,
Rank the cars in order of increasing acceleration, from most negative
to most positive.
Car 1 speeds up from 25 m/s to 35 m/s in 10 s.
Car 2 speeds up from 0 to 30 m/s in 15 s.
Car 3 slows down from 32 m/s to 12 m/s in 5 s.

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 not true about oxygen-17 and oxygen-18?

Awoman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. the book has a mass of m = 1.8 kg and the coefficient of static friction between her hand and the book is μs = 0.67. no attempt 50% part (a) what is the weight of the book, fgb in newtons?
