(a) carefully explain the difference between irreversible and reversible processes. also explain what the second law of thermodynamics dictates about reversible processes. (you may find it to compare water freezing at 0 °c and super- cooled water freezing at-5 °c.) [5 marks a heat engine operates with an efficiency n = 0.30 between two energy reservoirs at temperatures of 450 k and 293 k. the engine does 90 j of work per cycle. (b) draw and label a diagram to represent the engine and find the heat flows (i) out of the hot reservoir; and (ii) into the cold reservoir. [2 marks] (c) what is the maximum efficiency for an engine operating between the two reser- voirs? [1 mark] an experimental engineer decides to operate the engine as a heat pump using the same two energy reservoirs. electric power is supplied to turn the engine at a rate of 0.9 kw, doing 90 j of work per cycle. she finds that the heat pump delivers heat to the hot reservoir at a rate of 2.35 kw. [1 mark] (d) how many cycles does the heat pump perform per minute? (e) draw and label a diagram to represent the heat pump and find the heat flows (i) into the hot reservoir; and (ii) out of the cold reservoir. [2 marks] (f) find the coefficient of performance of the heat pump as well as the maximum coefficient of performance for a heat pump operating between the two reservoirs. comment on any difference between the real value and the maximum

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. car a weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. car b weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 44.0 mph. the cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. you have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . how fast (in miles per hour) was car a traveling just before the collision? (this problem uses english units because they would be used in a u.s. legal proceeding.)

Asatellite component is in the shape of a cube with 10cm edges, has an evenly distributed mass of 2 kg and one bolt hole at each of four corners. if the maximum predicted random vibration environment is 10 grms, what bolt size would be a good choice for restraint? what other factors might drive bolt size besides force/stress?
