377 g of water at 81°C & 279 g of glycerin at 47°C
are poured into a 427 g copper cup at 58°C. Assuming these three
make up a closed (or isolated) system, determine the FINAL
TEMPERATURE of the system.
A cube of ice is taken from the freezer at -9.4°C and
placed in a 100 g aluminum calorimeter filled with 278 g of water
at room temperature of 20°C. The final situation is observed to be
all water at 15°C. What was the mass of the ice
cube?
274 g of water at 2°C is added to ice at 0°C. If the
final temperature of the system (which you can assume is isolated)
is 0°C, determine HOW MUCH ICE MELTED.
0.4 kg of steam at 100°C is added to 2.74 kg of ice at
0°C. Determine the temperature of the mixture once thermal
equilibrium is reached.

1) a car of mass 999 kg traveling at 72.0 km/hour enters a flat(non-banked) and dry curve of radius 97.4 m. What is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road required to prevent the car from slipping ?
2) Shirin pushes a 27.1 kg crate a distance of 8.65 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing downward at an angle of 32.0 below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.370.
a) what magnitude of force must Shirin apply to move the crate at constant velocity ?
b) how much work does Shirin do on the crate, when it is pushed this distance of 8.65 m?
3.) A soccer ball with mass 0.880 kg is initially moving with speed 1.55 m/s. Marcus Rashford kicks the ball, exerting a constant force of magnitude 97.0 N in the same direction as the ball's motion. Over what distance must Marcus's foot be in contact with the ball to increase the ball's speed to 8.33 m/s ?

Before Fuel Injection. Some automobile engines (mainly older ones) use a carburetor to turn the liquid fuel into vapor and mix it with air for combustion. The basic principle of carburetion is shown in Figure P10.82. A piston moves down in the cylinder thereby moving air from the outside through the carburetor by way of an air filter and into the carburetor. The filtered air enters from the left of Figure P10.82 and moves into the main intake, a tube of diameter 4.2 cm, with velocity v = 10 m/s. The air must pass through a region of the intake that has a smaller diameter. Determine what diameter would be needed cause a change in pressure such that fuel from the reservoir is pulled into the airflow. The surface of the fuel in the reservoir is h = 37 cm below the bottom of the intake and the density of the fuel is 0.45 that of water. Use 1000 kg/m^3 for the density of water and 1.29 kg/m^3 for the density of air

Common terns hover in a stationary position over the ocean watching for a tasty fish. When they see one, they immediately stop their wings and simply free-fall into the ocean to catch the fish. Calculate how long a fish near the surface has to move away after the instant a tern sees it from a height of 3 m above the surface. Repeat Problem above, but now include air resistance. Assume a ball of 3 cm radius with an average density of 4400 kg/m 3 , a density of air of 1.3 kg/m 3 , and a value of C = 1.
