You see a penny lying on the ground. a penny won't buy much these days, so you think: "if i bend down to pick it up i will do work. to do that work i will have to burn some energy. it probably costs me more to buy the fuel (food) to provide that energy than i would gain by picking up the penny. it's not cost effective." you pass it by. show answer no attempt is the argument correct? estimate the energy cost for picking up a penny. you may find the following information useful: a jelly donut contains about 250 calories (1 calorie = 1 kcal).

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?

Explain the difference between each pair of concepts. a. frequency and relative frequency b. percentage and relative frequency a. select the correct choice below. a. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. b. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a value to the total number of observations. c. frequency is the total number of observations in a data set. relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times a particular distinct value occurs to the frequency. d. frequency is the number of times a particular distinct value occurs. relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of two different values.

Air is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kpa and 20°c at a rate of 0.6 m^3/s. the combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kj/kg°c) enter at 160°c at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°c. determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.
