A car goes from 60 mi/hr West to 0 mi/hr as it comes to a stop at a red light. If it takes 0.0022
hours to slow down, what is the car's acceleration?

How many seconds does it take a pebble released from rest off a bridge to fall 29.4 m ? what is the pebble's speed when it has fallen 29.4 m ?

Asteam power plant operates on an ideal reheat rankine cycle between the pressure limits of 15 mpa and 10 kpa. the mass flow rate of steam through the cycle is 12 kg/s. steam enters both stages of the turbine at 500°c. if the moisture content of the steam at the exit of the low-pressure turbine is not to exceed 10 percent, determine (a) the pressure at which reheating takes place, (b) the total rate of heat input in the boiler, and (c) the thermal efficiency of the cycle. also, show the cycle on a t-s diagram with respect to the saturation lines. (2.15 mpa; 45.0 mw; 42.6%)

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒
