A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 55.0 kg, and at a particular moment air resistance exerts a total upward force of 620 N on her and her parachute.

a. What is the weight of the parachutist?
b. Draw a free-body diagram for the parachutist. Use that diagram to calculate the net force on the parachutist. Is the net force upward or downward?
c. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the parachutist?

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?
