    2 problems: potential erg & tension/friction

    Thank you! My mistake on question 7 was I forgot to multiply the 9.8(0.68) by 2 when I moved the 1/2 from the left side to the right side of the equation. I also came up with the answer 4.76 m/s. On #5 I got the answer a = .57 m/s squared can someone verify this for me.

    Verifying Efficiency in a Thermodynamic System: Q1 & Q2

    ok so... .35 = 1 - [(Tc + 273)K / (Tc + 180 + 273)K] .35 = 1 - [(Tc + 273K) / (Tc + 453K)] -.65 = - [(Tc + 273K) / (Tc + 453K)] (divide by -1 on both sides) .65 = [(Tc + 273K) / (Tc + 453K)] .65(Tc + 453K) = Tc + 273K .65Tc + 294.45K = Tc + 273K 21.45K = .35Tc Tc =...

    Verifying Efficiency in a Thermodynamic System: Q1 & Q2

    Homework Statement http://i754.photobucket.com/albums/xx183/reddiesel08/Q2.jpg Homework Equations e = 1 - (Tc/Th) (Temp in Kelvins) The Attempt at a Solution e = 1 - (300k/520k) = .42 or 42% No because the engine can only perform 42 J of work for each 100 J of energy. Homework...

    Rotational Motion of a wheel turning

    Homework Statement A wheel starting from rest accelerates at 1.2 rad/s² counterclockwise. A) How long does it take to turn through 60 revolutions? B)What is the rotational speed at that time? 2. The attempt at a solution I converted 1.2rad/s² to 1.885 rev/s² by dividing by 2πrad (2...
