Textbook Question
Chapter 22.7, Problem 22.4CE
You have considerable intuition about whether some process increases or decreases the entropy of the Universe. Just imagine watching the process in reverse. If it doesn’t make sense in reverse, entropy must have increased. This test isn’t always foolproof: some process may seem reversible, but the entropy of the Universe still increases. Use your intuition to decide whether the entropy of the Universe increases during the following processes:
- a. A car crashes into a brick wall.
- b. An ice cube floating in a large cup of water melts.
- c. A puddle of water freezes to ice slowly.
- d. The frozen puddle of water melts slowly.

If the room’s radius is 16.2 m, at what minimum linear speed does Quicksilver need to run to stay on the walls without sliding down? Assume the coefficient of friction between Quicksilver and the wall is 0.236.
In the comics Thor flies by spinning his hammer really fast from a leather strap at the end of the handle, letting go, then grabbing it and having it pull him. If Thor wants to reach escape velocity (velocity needed to leave Earth’s atmosphere), he will need the linear velocity of the center of mass of the hammer to be 11,200 m/s. A) If the distance from the end of the strap to the center of the hammer is 0.334 m, what angular velocity does Thor need to spin his hammer at to reach escape velocity? b) If the hammer starts from rest what angular acceleration does Thor need to reach that angular velocity in 4.16 s? c) While the hammer is spinning at its maximum speed what impossibly large tension does the leather strap, which the hammer is spinning by, exert when the hammer is at its lowest point? The hammer has a total mass of 20.0kg.
The car goes from driving straight to spinning at 10.6 rev/min in 0.257 s with a radius of 12.2 m. The angular accleration is 4.28 rad/s^2. During this flip Barbie stays firmly seated in the car’s seat. Barbie has a mass of 58.0 kg, what is her normal force at the top of the loop?

Your supervisor has asked you to analyze emergency procedures for extravehicular activity (EVA), when the astronauts leave the International Space Station (ISS) to do repairs to its exterior or perform other tasks. In particular, the scenario you are studying is a failure of the manned-maneuvering unit (MMU), which is a nitrogen-propelled backpack that attaches to the astronaut's primary life support system (PLSS). In this scenario, the astronaut is floating directly away from the ISS and cannot use the failed MMU to get back. Therefore, the emergency plan is to take off the MMU and throw it in a direction directly away from the ISS, an action that will hopefully cause the astronaut to reverse direction and float back to the station. You have the following mass data provided to you: astronaut: 78.1 kg, spacesuit: 36.8 kg, MMU: 115 kg, PLSS: 145 kg.
