Approximately one billion years ago, the moon orbited the earth much closer than it does today. the radius of the orbit was only 24 400 km. the orbital period was only 23 400 s. today, the average radius is 385 000 km; and the present period is 2.36 × 106 s. assuming that the orbit of the moon is circular, calculate the ratio of the speed of the moon in its ancient orbit to the speed that it has today.

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
