Samples of different materials, A and B, have the same mass, but the sample of A is higher in density. Which statement could explain why this is so?

A. The particles that make up material B have more mass than the
particles that make up material A.
B. The particles that make up material A have more mass than the
particles that make up material B.
C. The sample of material A has greater volume than the sample of
material B.
D. The particles that make up material B are more closely packed
together than the particles that make up material A.

Abug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . what minimum coefficient friction is required so that the bug stays on the turntable?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Oxygen undergoes an isentropic expansion from 120 degree c and 280 kpa absolute to 140 kpa absolute. determine the final temperature of the oxygen and the amount of work per kg of o_2 produced in the process if it is adiabatic.
