How does a thermos flask to reduce conduction convection and radiation

Aball is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 21 m/s. if the ball has a mass of 0.1 kg, how high does the ball go? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s^2. a. 22.5 m b. 20.0 m c. 25.0 m d. 17.5 m

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Which is an example of gaining a static charge by conduction? a) rubbing a balloon against your hair. b) shuffling your shoes across a carpet. c) bringing a charged rod near an electroscope. d) touching your car on a cold day and getting a shock.
