(9) A dancer spins at 72rpm about an axis through the center with arms outstretched. The dancer mass=90kg, model the head as a uniform sphere r=8.0cm Model the trunk and legs as uniform solid cylinder r=12.0cm, arms as slender rods L=60.0cm. On the average the head=7%, both arms together=13% and trunk and legs=80% of body mass. Find the K. E. of the dancer note: arms are I around an axis for slender rod: 1/3ML^2 each arm note2: Moments of Inertia are summable, i. e. I total = I1 + I2 + I 3 +...

Solar cell a produces 100 joules of energy, when a light source is shown on it for 3 minutes. solar cell b produces 200 joules of energy when the same light source is shown on it for 5 minutes. which solar cell works better? a) solar cell b, because it produces more energy. b) solar cell b, because it generates more power. c) solar cell a, because it produces energy quicker. d) solar cell a, because it generates a greater wattage. eliminate

According to newtons universal law of gravitation, which would change the parh of the ball so it traces out widest curved path possible?

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.
