A ball player hits a home run, and the baseball just clears a wall 18.8 m high located 115.0 m from home plate. The ball is hit an an angle of 35° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.
(a) What is the initial speed?
(b) How much time does it take for the ball to reach the wall?
(c) Find the components of the velocity and the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall
A gas in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes in series. From state I to state 2 then: is energy transfer by heat to the gas of 500 kJ and the gas does work on the piston amounting 800 kJ. The second process. from state 2 to state 3 is a constant pressure compression at 400 kPa, during which there is a heat transfer from the gas amounting 450 kJ. The following data are also known: U1 = 2000 kJ and U3 = 3500 kJ. Neglecting changes in KE and PE, calculate the change in volume of the gas during process 2-3.
