Aboy, standing at point o, is whirling a ball on a string over his head. after several whirls, he lets go of the string and the ball travels in a straight line. describe the velocity of the ball in both situations: whirling overhead and being let go.

Light traveling in water, nwater = 1.33, strikes a plastic block at an angle of incidence of 51.4°; part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. if the index of refraction of the plastic is 2.0, what is the angle made by the reflected and refracted beams?

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

At 20∘c, the hole in an aluminum ring is 2.800 cm in diameter. you need to slip this ring over a steel shaft that has a room-temperature diameter of 2.804 cm . 1. to what common temperature should the ring and the shaft be heated so that the ring will just fit onto the shaft? coefficients of linear thermal expansion of steel and aluminum are 12×10−6 k−1 and23×10−6 k−1 respectively.
