An automobile having a mass of 900 kg initially moves along a level highway at 100 km/h relative to the highway. It then climbs a hill whose crest is 50 m above the level highway and parks at a rest area located there.
a. For the automobile, determine its changes in kinetic and potential energy, each in kJ. For each quantity, kinetic energy and potential energy, specify your choice of datum and reference value at that datum. Let g= 9.81 m/s^2

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference
