We are given that a force of 40 n is exerted at an angle of 42°. therefore, the force vector f can be represented as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with an acute angle 42°. the length of the hypotenuse would be
|f| =
.

Acar tire contains 0.0380 m^3 3 of air at a pressure of 2.20 ×10^{5} 5 n/m^2 2 (about 32 psi). how much more internal energy does this gas have than the same volume has at normal atmospheric pressure, 1.01x10^5 5 pa?

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?

The most important difference between a wedge and an inclined plane is a. their size b. their shape c. how they are used d. what they are made of
