While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. what is the automobile’s acceleration?

The difference between two numbers is 15. when twice the smaller number is subtracted from three times the larger number, the difference is 58.what is the larger number?

Mike walks 100 meter north, then walks 30 meters south. after this, he walks another 10 meters north. what is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk,in meters?

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.
