What absorbs more thermal energy: a snowy field on top of a high mountain in the tropics or a forest in Siberia? Why?

When someone slams her books on a table the kinect energy is transferred into vibrations that travel to your ears as sound waves which statement describes the movement of those waves

An object starts from rest at point f and speeds up continuously as it moves around an oval. a. choose a point about 1/8 th of the way around the oval from point f, and label it point g. draw a vector to represent the velocity of the object at point g. b. determine the change in velocity vector   between points f and g.

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. the concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30 kg c/m^3 fe, which are maintained constant. if the preexponential and activation energy are 6.2 x 10-7 m2 /s and 80,000 j/mol, respectively, compute the temperature at which the diffusion flux is 1.43 x 10^-9 kg/m^2 -s.
