Integrated Concepts - Frozen waste from airplane toilets has sometimes been accidentally ejected at high altitude. Ordinarily it breaks up and disperses over a large area, but sometimes it holds together and strikes the ground. Calculate the mass of 0C ice that can be melted by the conversion of kinetic and gravitational potential energy when a 20.0 kg piece of frozen waste is released at 12.0 km altitude while moving at 250 m/s and strikes the ground at 100 m/s (since less than 20.0 kg melts, a significant mess results).
4. Suppose that a nuclear power plant has an efficiency of about 0.34, and generates 1000 MW of power. It is located on the banks of a major river that is 67 m wide near the plant, approximately 3 m deep, and flows at a rate of 0.5 m/s. Suppose that the plant re-routes all of this water into the plant and dumps its waste heat evenly throughout the water, then returns the warmer water to the river. How much warmer is the river downstream of the plant compared to upstream? Water's specific heat is approximately 4184 J/kg/K, and its density is 1000 kg/m³. [Answer: The water is warmer by 4.62 K. This is a lot warmer!]
1. A person with a basal metabolic rate of 90 W has a continuous (24-hr) average power output, without any physical exertion, of 90 W. If this person consumes 2500 food calories per day and burns 500 calories per day doing additional physical activity, will they gain or lose weight?
A 400 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 425 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually falls to the Earth's surface, where it hits the ground with a speed of 1.80 km/s. How much energy was transformed into internal energy by means of air friction? Need Help? Read It

Plasma spraying is a process used to coat the surface of a material with a protective layer to prevent material degradation. In a plasma spray process, the protective coating in powder form is injected into a plasma jet. The powder is then heated until the droplets coalesce and are propelled over the surface of the material. Once deposited on the surface of the material, the molten droplets solidify and form a protective coating layer. Consider a plasma spray process using alumina (k = 30 W/m K, ρ = 3970 kg/m³ and cp = 800 J/kg K) powder that is injected into a plasma jet at T∞ = 15,000 ° C and h = 10,000 W/m²·K. Alumina powder is made up of spherical-shaped particles with a mean diameter of 60 μm and a melting point of 2300 °C.Solving, the amount of time it would take for the particles, with an initial temperature of 20 °C, to reach their melting point from the time they are injected into the plasma jet is 5,25x10 -4 s. The mathematical resolution is in the image. I only need the…
