A computational model predicts the maximum kinetic energy a roller coaster car can have given its mass, the speed at the highest point of its journey, and the height of the highest point. The mass is 250 kg, and the highest point of the journey is at 30 m, where the cart is at rest. What is its maximum kinetic energy?
73,500 J
468,750 J
0 J
112,500 J

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.

This is for my 8th grade science class, i really don’t understand. can someone me? , lol.

An engine undergoes a cycle as shown in the diagram. during a complete cycle the work done by the gas is 28.5×103 j and the energy transferred thermally out is 99.4×103 j. there are 1.5×1024 gas molecules and they have three active degrees of freedom. 6. (6 pts) during which process(es) is energy transferred thermally into the gas? a. 1→2 b. 2→3 c. 4→1 d. 1→2 and 4→1 e. none of the above
