A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.33 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 2.96 m/s and collides elastically with a black billiard ball with the same mass mb = 1.33 kg that is initially at rest. The two collide elastically and the white ball ends up moving at an angle above the horizontal of ?w = 29

A monatomic ideal gas is at an initial pressure of 1.54 atm and 76.0 cm3. The gas undergoes an isochoric increase in pressure to 2.31 atm, then an isobaric expansion to 114 cm3. Pressure is reduced isochorically to the original pressure before an isobaric compression returns the gas to its initial values. For 1.95 moles of the gas, complete the following:
a) Generate a sketch of the PV diagram, with values clearly represented.
b) Find the heat absorbed and heat rejected during each cycle.
c) Find the work done in one cycle. d) Calculate the efficiency of the heat engine.
e) Determine the minimum and maximum temperatures during the cycle.
f) Calculate the Carnot efficiency of the heat engine.
g) Find the maximum work that can be done by a Carnot engine that absorbs heat found in part b.
h) Determine the coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigerator operating between the temperature found earlier.
i) Determine the coefficient of performance of the system if operated as a heat pump.

A ball of mass m is attached to a string of length L. It is swung in a vertical circle with enough speed to keep the string taut throughout the motion. Assume the ball travels freely in the circle with negligible loss of mechanical energy. Determine if the following six statements are true or false; e.g., enter TTFFFF.

If I want to design an experiment related to kinetic friction,
can the following proposal meet the requirement?
By varying the weight of an object and measure the stopping
distance of that object.
Is this related to kinetic friction? If not, how should I change my
experiment?

A cylindrical air tank has dimensions diameter = 0.2m and height 0.8m. an attached pressure gage reads 200 kPa and the temperature is 27 celcius. an electrical heater is energized inside and it raises the temperature to 147 celius in 2 minutes. Calculate the mass of air in the tank (kg) (have to use ideal gas law, molecular weight of air)

A 1,300-N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of 390 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in the figure a below. Two figures show a side view of a crate positioned upon a horizontal surface. Figure (a): An arrow pointing downward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° below the horizontal as it approaches the upper left edge of the crate. Figure (b): An arrow pointing upward and to the right is labeled vector F and forms an angle of 20° above the horizontal as it extends from the upper right edge of the crate.
(a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.)
0.256 Correct: Your answer is correct.
(b) If the 390-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in the figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).
0.7 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect.
