miniature spring-loaded, radio-controlled gun is mounted on an air puck. The gun's bullet has a mass of 5.00 g, and the gun and puck have a combined mass of 120 g. With the system initially at rest, the radio controlled trigger releases the bullet causing the puck and empty gun to move with a speed of 0.500 m/s. What is the bullet's speed

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?

What word chemical equation describes cavendish’s experiment with zinc?

In the middle of the night you are standing a horizontal distance of 14.0 m from the high fence that surrounds the estate of your rich uncle. the top of the fence is 5.00 m above the ground. you have taped an important message to a rock that you want to throw over the fence. the ground is level, and the width of the fence is small enough to be ignored. you throw the rock from a height of 1.60 m above the ground and at an angle of 54.0 degrees above the horizontal. part a part complete what minimum initial speed must the rock have as it leaves your hand to clear the top of the fence? express your answer with the appropriate units. part b for the initial velocity calculated in the previous part, what horizontal distance beyond the fence will the rock land on the ground?
