Objects a, b, and c are at different temperatures, a lowest and c highest. the three objects are put in thermal contact with each other simultaneously. without doing a calculation, is it possible to determine whether object b will gain or lose thermal energy?

Difference between series and parallel circuits

Aheavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a90-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. when the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80hz. what is the mass of the sculpture?

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. at the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kpa and 27°c, and 750 kj/kg of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-addition process. assuming constant specific heats at room temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at the end of the heat-addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle. (4390 kpa, 1730 k; 423 kj/kg; 56.4%; 534 kpa)
