A rightward force is applied to a 17kg object to move it across a rough surface with a rightward acceleration of
3m/s/s. THe coefficient of friction between the object
and the surface is 0.5.

Abeam of electrons with of wavelength of 7.5 x 10-6 m is incident on a pair of narrow rectangular slits separated by 0.75 mm. the resulting interference pattern is projected onto a screen 10.0 m from the slits. what is the separation of the interference maxima in the resulting interference pattern?

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.

What do you think car designers do if the damage caused by a crash test is too severe?
