Steam at a pressure of 15 bar and a temperature of 320oc is contained in a large vessel. connected to the vessel through a valve is a turbine followed by a small initially evacuated tank with a volume of 0.6 m3. when emergency power is required, the valve is opened and the tank fills with steam until the pressure is 15 bar. the temperature in the tank is then 400oc. the filling process takes place adiabatically and kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. determine the amount of work developed by the turbine, in kj.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 68.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?

Clara is shopping in a grocery store with her friend. each has their own shopping cart in which they want to place their items. the shopping carts are identical. clara and her friend add the same type and number of items to each of their carts. in the baking aisle, however, clara adds 20 pounds of sugar to her own cart, and her friend adds only 10 pounds of sugar to her own cart. which of the following statements best explains what clara must do to accelerate at the same rate as her friend? a. she must add more sugar to her cart. b. she must apply more force to move her cart. c. she must add 20 pounds of salt instead of 20 pounds of sugar to her cart. d. she must apply less force to move her cart.
