A tall building is swaying back and forth on a gusty day. The wind picks up and doubles the amplitude of the oscillation. A. By what factor does the maximum speed of the top of the building increase? B. By what factor does the maximum acceleration of the top of the building increase?

Ascientist is tracking an object orbiting the sun that is found between mars and jupiter. in order to classify the object as an asteroid, it must be at least

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.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 13 m/s in a period of 2 s. what is your acceleration?
