Why are solids good at transferring heat through conduction? a. the particles are close together. b. the particles do not move. c. the particles give off electromagnetic waves. d. the particles can slide past one another.

Two particles of masses m and 2m are placed on a smooth horizontal table. a string, which joins these two masses, hangs over the edge supporting a pulley, which suspends a particle of mass 3m. the pulley has negligible mass. the two parts of the string on the table are parallel and perpendicular to the edge of the table. the hanging parts of the string are vertical. find the acceleration of the particle of mass 3m.

Amanometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. the fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential height between the two arms of the manometer is 34 in. if the local atmospheric pressure is 12.7 psia, determine the absolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the

The sun’s mass is 2.0×10^ 30 kg, its radius is 7.0×10 5 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. if the sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5×10 3 km, what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the sun both before and after?
