A bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 1.3 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizontal velocity of 3.8 m/s to the west and leaves with a 5.4 m/s velocity to the east, what is the mass of the ball (in grams)?

In 1980, alfa romeo introduced the first system to smooth a rough idle caused by ignition and camshaft timing changes.

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

He viscosities of several liquids are being compared. all the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. the liquid with the highest viscosity will
