A 2.0-gram piece of gum is flicked straight at 5.0 meters per second toward a 5.0 gram block at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. The
collision is shown. The gum sticks to the block and both move to the
right. What is their speed?

A2 kg ball travellng to the right with a speed of 4 m/s collidees with a 5 kg ball traveling to the left with a speed of 3 m/s. take right to be the positive direction. what is the total momentum of the two balls before they collide? what is the total momentum of the two balls after they collide?

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.

In a hydrogen molecule there are a total of four charges, 2 protons in the two nuclei, and 2 electrons. how many unique charge-pairs are there (without double counting)?
