Water is being heated in a vertical piston-cylinder device. the piston has a mass of 20 kg and a cross-sectional area of 100 cm2. if the local atmospheric pressure is 100 kpa, determine the temperature at which the water starts boiling.

Aplayground merry-go-round has a radius of 4.6 m and a moment of inertia of 200 kg-m2 and turns with negligible friction about a vertical axle through its center. a child applies a 26.0 n force tangentially to the edge of the merry-go-round for 15.0 seconds. if the merry-go-round is initially at rest, how much work did the child do on the merry-go-round?

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
