If mechanical energy is converted to thermal energy, then the spring would not compress as far as it would otherwise. This will cause the spring constant to be lower than it really is. a. True
b. False

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.

In the illustration, which two simple machines are being used to enable the student to reach the door? a. inclined plane and pulley b lever and wheel-and-axle c pulley and lever d wheel-and axle and inclined plane

The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25m is s. the average time to travel just between 0.25 m and 0.50 m is s. given the time taken to travel the second 0.25 m section, the velocity would be m/s.
