An object is raised above the ground gaining a certain amount of potential energy. if the same object is raised twice as high, it gains:

Gam radio signals can usually be heard behind a hill, but fm often cannot. that is, am signals bend more than fm. explain. (radio signals, as we shall see, are carried by electromagnetic waves whose wavelength for am is typically 200 to 600 m and for fm about 3 m.)

The velocity of a curling stone is due east. what will be the direction of the momentum of the curling stone as it moves?

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?
