A system of mass 10 kg undergoes a process during which there is no work, the elevation decreases by 50 m, and the velocity increases from 15 m/s to 50 m/s. The specific internal energy decreases by 5 kJ/kg and the acceleration of gravity is constant at 9.8 m/s2. Determine the change in kinetic energy, in kJ, and the amount of energy transfer by heat for the process, in kJ.

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.

This is a form of winter precipitation. it is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. the raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth. this precipitation is called a) hail. b) rain. c) sleet. d) snow.

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
