Which of the following statements is true?

a.) all of the sun's heat is reflected by the earth's atmosphere.
b. )radiation is the transfer of heat between objects which are not touching.
c.) an insulator speeds up the vibration of molecules and the transfer of heat.
d.) heat is transfered in solids through conduction.

Identify the forces that contribute to the centripetal force on the object in each of the following examples: a. a bicyclist moving around a flat, circular track b. a bicycle moving around a flat, circular track c. a racecar turning a corner on a steeply banked curve

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area ah at its bottom. when water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cah 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. a tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its bottom. (assume the removed apex of the cone is of negligible height and volume.) (a) suppose the tank is 20 feet high and has radius 8 feet and the circular hole has radius 2 inches. the differential equation governing the height h in feet of water leaking from a tank after t seconds is dh dt = − 5 6h3/2 . if the height of the water is initially 8 feet, how long will it take the tank to empty? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

How are the crust and the inner core alike? a) they are both solid. b) they both have the same temperature. c) they are both under the same pressure. d) they are both very close to the center of the earth.
