in gravitational energies, AU = mgz, at the top and bottom of a room, of height
z = 3 m. Again, you can assume air is made of nitrogen only. Why doesn't the air
in the room fall to the floor? What could you do to make it fall? b) This time
calculate it for a 50 µm dirt particle of mass 1.25×10-10 kg. Does it fall to the
ground and if so, why?
A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).

- Q.1:: 12 kg of air per minute is delivered by a centrifugal air compressor It enters the compressor at a velocity of 12 m/s with a pressure of 1 bar and specific volume of 0. 5 m²/kg and leaves at a velocity of 90 m/s with a pressure of 8 bar and specific volume of 0.14 m/kg. The increase in enthalpy of air passing through the compressor is (hz-h: = 150 kJ/kg) and heat loos to the surroundings at a rate of 700 kJ/min. Assume the inlet and discharge line are at the same level. Answer the following: a. What are the main assumptions b. Calculate the power required to drive the compressor, in kW c.

- In the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.arrow_forwardFor years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used from 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 234-foot (71.3 meter) tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the time of fall and the speed of a lead shot upon hitting the water at the bottom.arrow_forwardJupiter's moon Io has active volcanoes (in fact, it is the most volcanically active body in the solar system) that eject material as high as 500 km (or even higher) above the surface.
