A ball is thrown directly upward into the air. The graph below shows the vertical position of the ball with respect to time. a. How much time does the ball take to reach its maximum height? b. How much time does the ball take to reach one-half its maximum height? c. Estimate the slope of ∆y/∆t at t = 0.05 s, t = 0.10 s, t = 0.15 s, and t = 0.20 s. On your paper, draw a coordinate system with velocity (v) on the y-axis and time (t) on the x-axis. Plot your velocity estimates against time. d. From your graph, determine what the acceler- ation on the ball is.

I) a gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, a and b, between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1 = 10 bar, v1 = 0.1 m3 , u1 = 400 kj and p2 = 1 bar, v2 = 1.0 m3 , u2 = 200 kj: ' process a: process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure-volume relation is pv = constant. ' process b: constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to state 2. kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. for each of the processes a and b, a) sketch the process on a p-v diagram. b) evaluate the work, in kj. c) evaluate the heat transfer, in kj.(ans : qb,12 = -65.0 kj)
