A 75-kg snowboarder has an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s at the top of a 28 degree incline. After sliding down the 110-m long include (on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is u_k = 0.18), the snowboarder has attained a velocity V. The snowboarder then slides along a flat surface (on which u_k = 0.15) and comes to rest after a distance x.
Use Newton's second law to find the snowboarder's acceleration while on the incline and while on the flat surface.
A_incline = ?
A_flat = ?
Then use these accelerations to determine x.

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?
