Four objects are being tested to see how they are affected by fluid friction. object w has a surface area of 4.5 cm2, object x has a surface area of 2.5 cm2, object y has a surface area of 6.2 cm2, and object z has a surface area of 3 cm2. which object would experience the most fluid friction?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or , energy can be from one substance to another. the first blank is ' destroyed ' and for the second blank is ' transferred '

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?
