Ariver flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. a student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting point. the student swims at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s relative to the water. (a) how long does the round trip in the river take? (b) how long would a trip of the same length take in still water? (c) explain why it takes longer to swim in moving water, considering that it takes longer to swim upriver but shorter to swim downriver.

Amass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by 5cm and released. the system then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a period of 1s. if that same mass–spring system is displaced from equilibrium by 10cm instead, what will its period be in this case? a mass attached to a spring is displaced from its equilibrium position by and released. the system then oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a period of . if that same mass–spring system is displaced from equilibrium by instead, what will its period be in this case? a) 0.5sb) 2sc) 1sd) 1.4s

Nitrogen (n2) undergoes an internally reversible process from 6 bar, 247°c during which pν1.2 = constant. the initial volume is 0.1 m3 and the work for the process is 121.14 kj. assuming ideal gas behavior, and neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine heat transfer, in kj, and the entropy change, in kj/s. show the process on a t-s diagram.

What belongs in the areas marked x and y? x: the internal energy of a piston system increases as heat is added and rises to a cool area y: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the energy is lost to the environment x: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the energy is lost to the environment y: the internal energy of a piston system increases as heat is added and rises to a cool area x: a cold spoon placed in hot liquid gets warmer y: thermal energy is converted to light energy x: thermal energy is converted to light energy y: a cold spoon placed in hot liquid gets warmer
