Imagine you do 4.18 j of work on a system adiabatically, that is to say, without letting it exchange any thermal energy with its surroundings. how much heat, in calories, would you have to put into the system to get the same δe, if no mechanical work was done on or by the system at all?

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?

The brightest star in the night sky in the northern hemisphere is sirius. its distance from earth is estimated to be 8.7 light years. a light year is the distance light travels in one year. light travels at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m/s. calculate the distance from earth to sirius in miles. (1 mi = 5280 ft) g
