An object moving on a horizontal , frictionless surface makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the surface. in this case which of the following is true about momentum and kinetic energy?
A. It has a constant acceleration while moving up the plan and a greater acceleration when moving down the plane.
B. It has a constant acceleration while moving up the plan and a smaller acceleration when moving down the plane.
C. It moves with a constant velocity both up and down the plane.
D. It has the same acceleration as it moves up and down the plane.
E. It has a continually varying acceleration as it moves up and down the plane.

Atransverse wave is traveling on a string stretched along the horizontal x-axis. the equation for the vertical displacement y of the string is given by y = (1.8 x 10-3)cos[π(13x - 60t)], where all quantities are in si units. what is the maximum speed of a particle of the string

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.

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. by doing this, you make the time of the impact about 10 times as great as for a stiff-legged landing. in this way the average force your body experiences is a) less than 1/10 as great. b) more than 1/10 as great. c) about 1/10 as great.d) about 10 times as great.
