Two forces effect objects on earth. They are the force of gravity and the force of earth's magnetic field. Suppose you drop an iron bar. Which force would have a greater effect on the bar?

The step-down transformer gives a current of 10a at 24v if the primary voltage is 240v calculate the 1_primary current 2_the power input 3_the power output

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.

Because light travels in a straight line and casts a shadow, isaac newton hypothesized that light is
