a loaded pallet weighing 600 in rests on a wooden floor. a forklift drivers decides to push it without lifting it. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pallet and the floor is 0.17 and the coefficient of static energy is 0.28. determine the push force required to just get the pallet moving

The specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories/gram°c. if 10.0 grams of silver were heated and the temperature of the sample changed by 20.0°c, how many calories of heat energy were absorbed by the sample?

2kg of refrigerant 134a undergoes a polytropic process in a piston-cylinder assembly from an initial state of saturated vapor at 2 bar to a final state of 12 bar, 80 degree c. a)determine the work for the process in kj. b)sketch the process on a p-v diagram.

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.
