Students use a stretched elastic band to launch carts of known mass horizontally on a track. The elastic bands exert a force F, which is nonlinear as a function of the distance x that the band is stretched. A meter stick is used to measure x, and a motion detector is used to measure the resulting maximum speed of the carts. This procedure is repeated to gather data for several different values of x. Which of the following graphs, if linear, supports the hypothesis that F is a function of x^2?

a. A graph of the cart's maximum speed as a function of x
b. A graph of the cart's maximum speed as a function of x^2
c. A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x
d. A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^2
e. A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^3

An ideal otto cycle has a compression ratio of 8. at the beginning of the compression process, air is at 95 kpa and 27°c, and 750 kj/kg of heat is transferred to air during the constant-volume heat-addition process. assuming constant specific heats at room temperature, determine (a) the pressure and temperature at the end of the heat-addition process, (b) the net work output, (c) the thermal efficiency, and (d) the mean effective pressure for the cycle. (4390 kpa, 1730 k; 423 kj/kg; 56.4%; 534 kpa)
