Suppose you have a blocks of iron, a block of copper and a block of aluminum, each of 1 kg at 1000K. You want to warm up a 10 kg of water at 300K as much as possible. 1.1. Imagine that all you can do is to throw one block at a time and wait for it to achieve thermodynamic equilibrium before throwing in the next. Which ordering provides the best result?

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Two polarizers are oriented at 40∘ to each other and plane-polarized light is incident on them. if only 16 percent of the light gets through both of them, what was the initial polarization direction of the incident light?
