On a roller coaster, describe the kinetic and potential energy of the car at the top of the first hill, the bottom of the first drop, and later in the ride. what effect does friction have on the car throughout the ride? enter your answer in the space provided.

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
