Two blocks are connected by a massless rope that passes over a 2 kg pulley with a radius of 5 cm. The rope moves over the pulley without slipping. The mass of block A is 2 kg and the mass of block B is 3 kg. Block A is also connected to a horizontally-mounted spring with a spring constant of 150 J/m2. What is the period (in s) of simple harmonic oscillations of this system?

An implanted pacemaker supplies the heart with 72 pulses per minute, each pulse providing 6.0 v for 0.65 ms. the resistance of the heart muscle between the pacemaker’s electrodes is 550 ω. find (a) the current that flows during a pulse, (b) the energy delivered in one pulse, and (c) the average power supplied by the pacemaker.

1. in terms of fuel economy rank the following hybrid and electric vehicles, and justify application specific to each hybrid technology stop/start | mild hybrid | full hybrid | plug-in hybrid | full electric a. rank based on fuel economy b. justify your application specific for each technology

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?
