Describe how a chronological record of Earth’s atmosphere for the past 420 000 years can be constructed from ice-core samples.

The momentum of an isolated system is conserved a) only in inelastic collisions. b) only in elastic collisions. c) in both elastic and inelastic collisions

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.

If two students are running down the hall toward each other, trying to get to class, and they have the same mass and acceleration, what will happen when they collide? will their forces cancel out or will each one experience a reaction?
