A58.4-kg person, running horizontally with a velocity of +3.97 m/s, jumps onto a 14.8-kg sled that is initially at rest. (a) ignoring the effects of friction during the collision, find the velocity of the sled and person as they move away. (b) the sled and person coast 30.0 m on level snow before coming to rest. what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow?

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.
