(a) carefully explain the difference between irreversible and reversible processes. also explain what the second law of thermodynamics dictates about reversible processes. (you may find it to compare water freezing at 0 °c and super- cooled water freezing at-5 °c.) [5 marks a heat engine operates with an efficiency n = 0.30 between two energy reservoirs at temperatures of 450 k and 293 k. the engine does 90 j of work per cycle. (b) draw and label a diagram to represent the engine and find the heat flows (i) out of the hot reservoir; and (ii) into the cold reservoir. [2 marks] (c) what is the maximum efficiency for an engine operating between the two reser- voirs? [1 mark] an experimental engineer decides to operate the engine as a heat pump using the same two energy reservoirs. electric power is supplied to turn the engine at a rate of 0.9 kw, doing 90 j of work per cycle. she finds that the heat pump delivers heat to the hot reservoir at a rate of 2.35 kw. [1 mark] (d) how many cycles does the heat pump perform per minute? (e) draw and label a diagram to represent the heat pump and find the heat flows (i) into the hot reservoir; and (ii) out of the cold reservoir. [2 marks] (f) find the coefficient of performance of the heat pump as well as the maximum coefficient of performance for a heat pump operating between the two reservoirs. comment on any difference between the real value and the maximum

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
