The top layer of your goose down sleeping bag has a thickness of 5.5 cm and a surface area of 1.0 m2 . when the outside temperature is -18 ∘c you lose 24 cal/hr by heat conduction through the bag (which remains at a cozy 35 ∘c inside). assume that you're sleeping on an insulated pad that eliminates heat conduction to the ground beneath you. (note: 1 cal = 4184 j)

Atomic nuclei of almost all elements consist of

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i. e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that

Which of these best describes the term ecliptic? a. the circle where "earth meets the sky" b. the change in azimuth and altitude of an object c. the point directly above the geographic north pole d. the path of the sun through the constellations of the zodiac
