One way to store a lot of energy is to compress air in a large cave. The air starts at the corner marked by the black dot, where P = 1 atmosphere, V = 1 cave volume (let's choose 1,000,000 cubic meters), and T = 300 K. It is then adiabatically compressed to half the volume by a pump. As the air comes out of the pump it is hotter (how hot? what is the pressure?), but it cools to 300 K again at constant volume (what is the temperature now?). Later, the air expands adiabatically running a generator, ending at the initial volume. It is now colder than 300 K (how cold?) but it warms up to end at the original temperature, pressure, and volume.How much work did the pump do? How much energy was given to the generator

A block of mass M = 10.0 kg is given an initial speed v0 = 2.10 m/s from height hi down a frictionless incline plane of angle θ = 75◦. After it reaches the bottom of the incline, it continues to slide on a horizontal surface of coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.15. After sliding a distance d = 1.8 m along the horizontal surface, the block moves at a speed v = 7.00 m/s. Magnitude of acceleration due to gravity is g = 10 m/s2. 14 pt At what initial height hi on the plane was it released from? 5.A 2.50 m B 1.96 m C 2.23 m D 0.65 m E 2.41 m.

An α-particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of 6.64 × 10-27 kg. It is accelerated from rest through a potential difference that has a value of 1.81 × 106 V and then enters a uniform magnetic field whose magnitude is 2.63 T. The α-particle moves perpendicular to the magnetic field at all times. What is (a) the speed of the α-particle, (b) the magnitude of the magnetic force on it, and (c) the radius of its circular path?

I ranked the steam engine as one of the half dozen most important inventions in history – explaining how, even if obsolete nowadays, it was the first engine able to generate power, a technology that revolutionized our ability to do something we could never do before. Choose five other inventions you think would similarly round out the top half dozen, and make a good case as to how each merits the important position you gave it in the progress of science, technology, or society. Think historically and comprehensively.

Water (density p=1000 kg/m^3) is discharging from through a hole at the bottom of a graduated cylinder. The mass flow rate exiting the container may be approximated by: mass flow rate = C*p*A*(2*g*y)^(1/2) Where C is the dimensionless discharge coefficient , A is the area of the discharge hole, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and y is the water height in the container.
