A pendulum is raised to a certain height and released from point A, as shown in the image below. At its release, the pendulum is also given an initial
velocity of 14 m/s. Assuming that the effects of friction and air resistance
can be ignored, what will be the maximum height that the pendulum can
reach – that is, what is the height at point B? (Recall that g= 9.8 m/s2)

Once cells with nuclei developed, organisms were able to become more complex, which allowed them to adapt to the conditions in more habitats. by which process do organisms adapt and evolve?

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
