In the star wars movie star wars episode vi: return of the jedi, a key battle takes place on the inhabited "forest moon" endo, which supposedly orbits around a gas giant planet. from what you have learned about planets and moons of the solar system, why would this be an unusual situation?

Aman tries to push a box of mass 4 kg with a force of 5 n but the box remains stationary if the coefficient of static friction is 0.45, what is the value of the maximum force of friction?

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.

At the negative terminal of the battery the electron has electric potential energy. what happens to this energy as the electron jumps from the negative to the positive terminal?
