A batter hits a 0.140-kg baseball that was approaching him at 30 m/s and, as a result, the ball leaves the bat at 40 m/s in the reverse of its original direction. The ball remains in contact with the bat for 2.0 ms. Required:
What is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the bat on the ball?

Which feature of a heating curve indicates a change ofn state

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.

Question part points submissions used suppose that 2 j of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 26 cm to a length of 36 cm. (a) how much work is needed to stretch the spring from 28 cm to 32 cm? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
