describe how the piece of chalk in the image may be affected by static friction, sliding friction, fluid friction, and rolling friction. which type of friction is likely to produce the greatest amount of force on the chalk?

Acatapult is tested by roman legionnaires. they tabulate the results in a papyrus and 2000 years later the archaeological team reads (distances translated into modern units): range = 0.4 km; angle of launch = π/5 rad; landing height = launch height. what is the initial velocity of launch of the boulders if air resistance is negligible?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Which configuration would produce an electric current? a) rotate a coil of copper wire between two magnets. b) connect a wire between a copper and zinc strip sitting in a beaker of water. c) connect a wire to the (+) positive end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb. d) connect a wire to the negative end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb.
