In a steam engine the pressure and volume of steam satisfy the equation pv1.4 = k, where k is a constant. (this is true for adiabatic expansion, that is, expansion in which there is no heat transfer between the cylinder and its surroundings.) calculate the work done by the engine during a cycle when the steam starts at a pressure of 140 lb/in2 and a volume of 100 in3 and expands to a volume of 600 in3. (round your answer to two decimal places.)

The momentum of an isolated system is conserved a) only in inelastic collisions. b) only in elastic collisions. c) in both elastic and inelastic collisions

A150 w lamp emits light of wavelength 590 nm uniformly in all directions. what is the photon flux (photons per unit area per unit time) on a small screen at a distance 2.3 m from the lamp? assume the photons are uniformly distributed over the surface of a sphere of radius 2.3 m.

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
