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 4.50 kg solid cylinder with radius 10.0 cm is allowed to roll down a uniform slope that has been inclined at 22°. The cylinder is stationary at the top and the length of the incline is 5.50 meters.
1. What percentage of the total KE is rotational KE at the bottom of the ramp?
2. What is the angular acceleration of the cylinder as it rolls down the ramp?
3. Find the velocity of the cylinder at the bottom of the ramp.
4. What is the net torque applied to the rolling cylinder during its motion down the ramp?

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.

A 1094 kg van, stopped at a traffic light, is hit directly in
the rear by a 727 kg car traveling with a velocity of +2.41 m/s.
Assume that the transmission of the van is in neutral, the brakes
are not being applied, and the collision is elastic. What is the
final velocity of the car?

Two semi-infinite grounded conducting planes intersect at 60
degrees. A point charge is situated inside this wedge-shaped
region.
(a) Find image charges to obtain the potential between the
conductors.
(b) Can you use the result of part (a) to obtain the Green function
for the Dirichlet problem between the planes? No explicit
calculation is required; just explain

A large, two-story office building has a first floor which measures 500 ft by 750 ft and a second story which is 500 ft by 500 ft. This building used 76,650 GWh of electricity last year and 120,035 therms of natural gas.
a) What is the EUI of the building? How does this compare to similar buildings?
b) Currently the office encourages carpooling and public transportation and therefore does not have a parking structure attached. They are considering adding this as an amenity to their employees. How does an unheated, 145,000 square feet parking garage change the EUI? How might this
impact an energy audit of the building?
c) By 2025, the company would like to add solar panels on the roof of the building to create on-site
electricity. These panels are projected to create a minimum of 20,000 kWh, annually. What is thebuilding’s new EUI?

An accelerator in an automobile is defined as anything a person
directly
interacts with, resulting in a change in motion of the vehicle.
Your mission is to list at least 12
accelerators that you would find in any standard automobile. You
must accurately describe
each accelerator and state the external force that the accelerator
indirectly affects. You
should also show the external forces that directly cause each
acceleration using adequate
diagrams and explanation. Please, only consider standard cars or
trucks; the Batmobile,
monster trucks, or even police vehicles are not standard
automobiles.

Research 3 types of technology that we have in our world
that are related to either Kepler's Laws or The Universal Law of
Gravity. The technology can be directly related to these topics or
just a snowball effect and only somewhat related to them.
Yo should include:
3 examples of technology
Explanation how the technology helps humans (or will help them in
future)
Explanation how the tecnology is related to Kepler's Laws or The
Universal Law of Gravity
