Which statement about protons is true? a. they have a charge that is always a whole number. b. they are smaller than neutrons and electrons. c. they weigh much less than electrons. d. they are inherently unstable.

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.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? check all that apply.a.gravity acts to pull the object downb.the object moves in a straight path.c.the forward velocity of the object is 0 m/s.d.the object’s inertia carries it forward.e.the path of the object is curved.

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. the astronaut is 6 ft, 6 in. tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 3030 ft per sec. the height s of the ball in feet is given by the equation s equals negative 2.7 t squared plus 30 t plus 6.5s=−2.7t2+30t+6.5, where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown. complete parts a and b.
