Thinking about the impacts of socioeconomic status, you should a. consider the outside factors that are impacting that child's ability to learn and offer resources to the family when possible. b. talk with the family about their situation. c. use a standardized tool that's normed on children from low-income families. d. assume the child who may live in poverty won't perform as well as others from wealthier families.

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?

Examine the nuclear reacti why is this classified as a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical reaction? it is not balanced. a new compound is formed. a change has occurred in a nucleus. a new element has been formed.

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.
