Professor Modyn wants to power his refrigerator with a heat engine. A Carnot heat engine receives heat from a reservoir at 493.0°C at a rate of 767 kJ/min and rejects heat to the ambient air at 29.1°C. The entire work output of the heat engine is used to drive a refrigerator that removes heat from the refrigerated space at -3.23°C and transfers it to the same ambient air at 29.1°C. Note: The IUPAC sign conversion for work is used. Work into the system has a positive value.

a) Determine the maximum rate of heat removal from the refrigerated space (kW)

b) Determine the total rate of heat rejection to the ambient air. Heat rejection is a negative value. Account for both the heat engine and refrigerator. (kW)

On average, both arms and hands together account for 13% of a person's mass, while the head is 7.0% and the trunk and legs account for 80%. We can model a spinning skater with her arms outstretched as a vertical cylinder (head, trunk, and legs) with two solid uniform rods (arms and hands) extended horizontally. Suppose a 75.0 kg skater is 1.60 m tall, has arms that are each 66.0 cm long (including the hands), and a trunk that can be modeled as being 33.0 cm in diameter. If the skater is initially spinning at 79.0 rpm with her arms outstretched, what will her angular velocity ?2 be (in rpm ) after she pulls in her arms and they are at her sides parallel to her trunk? Assume that friction between the skater and the ice is negligble.

Answer questions 1-3 with clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero. Show your work.

  1. A loop of wire is oriented horizontally, so that a vector normal to the loop is oriented downward. An external magnetic field is directed due west, at an angle of 14° above the horizontal. The magnitude of the field is decreasing over time. As viewed from above, the induced current is:

Bowling balls can be made from a variety of substances and are required to have a circumference of roughly 27.4 inches. The construction of the ball typically consists of a high density core surrounded by a lower density shell. Suppose a bowling ball floats in water with half of its volume submerged. If the specific gravity of the shell is 0.350 and the specific gravity of the core is 0.800, calculate the thickness of the shell.

Although gas station owners lock their tanks at night, a gas station owner in your neighborhood was the victim of theft because his employee had a key to the tank. The owner of the gas station wants to bury the gasoline so deep that no vacuump pump, no matter how powerful, will be able to extract it. He has hired you as a general contractor to dig the holes for the tanks. What is the minimum depth needed for the surface of the gasoline to be unsiphonable? Assume the specific gravity of gasoline is 0.744. (You can ignore the drop rate of the gasoline level inside the tank.)

The gas station owner balks at your estimate. He neither has the funds nor approval from the city to dig that deeply. However, you tell him that the best a thief could hope to have at his disposal is a 194-mbar vacuum pump. Anything better would be enormously expensive. Given this information, how deep would the gasoline have to sit below the surface to keep it safe from thieves?

A 1.30 kg , horizontal, uniform tray is attached to a vertical ideal spring of force constant 200 N/mand a 275 g metal ball is in the tray. The spring is below the tray, so it can oscillate up-and-down. The tray is then pushed down 13.3 cm below its equilibrium point (call this point A) and released from rest.

A) How high above point A will the tray be when the metal ball leaves the tray? (Hint: This does not occur when the ball and tray reach their maximum speeds.) B)How much time elapses between releasing the system at point A and the ball leaving the tray? c)How fast is the ball moving just as it leaves the tray?

If it actually takes 850 s, what is the power applied, in megawatts? c. Given this power, what is the average force (in kN) of air resistance if the airplane takes 1200 s? (Hint: You must find the distance the plane travels in 1200 s assuming constant acceleration.)

Compact discs and long-playing records are made from similar materials. The former have a diameter of about 12 cm, and the latter, about 32 cm. When in use, records spin at 33.333 rev/min, and compact discs spin at, say, 410 rev/min. Ignoring the holes in both objects and assuming that a compact disc has two thirds the thickness of a record and 0.90 of its density, what is the ratio of the angular momentum of a compact disc in use to that of a record?
