Which of the following processes would be the closest to reversible? A. a book that slides across a rough carpeted floor
B. hot water that is forced through a pipe at high velocity
c. a fan that operates at high speed pumping hot indoor air into the surrounding environment outside

Asap and show ! a 14 kg rock starting from rest free falls through a distance of 5.0 m with no air resistance. find the momentum change of the rock caused by its fall and the resulting change in the magnitude of earths velocity. earth mass is 6.0 * 10^24 kg. show your work assuming the rock earth system is closed.

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?

Find an expression for the electric field e⃗ at the center of the semicircle. hint: a small piece of arc length δs spans a small angle δθ=δs /r, where r is the radius. express your answer in terms of the variables q, l, unit vectors i^, j^, and appropriate constants.
