PROBLEM 11.141 Racecar A is traveling on a straight portion of the track while racecar B is traveling
on a circular portion of the track. At the instant shown, the speed of A is increasing at the rate of 10
m/s?, and the speed of B is decreasing at the rate of 6 m/s?. For the position shown, determine (a) the
velocity of Brelative to A, (b) the acceleration of B relative to A.
SOLUTION:
240 kmh
A
200 km/h

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?
