Earthquakes generate shock waves that travel through Earth's interior to other parts of the world. The fastest of these waves are longitudinal
waves, like soundwaves, and are called primary waves, or just p-waves. A
P-wave has very low frequencies, typically around 0.050 Hz. If the
wavelength of a p-wave is 160,000 m, what is its speed?

Water at room temperature of 20.0°c is poured into an aluminum cylinder which has graduation markings etched on the inside. the reading in the graduations is 300.0 cc. the cylinder with the water in it is then immersed in a constant temperature bath at a temperature of 100°c. what is the reading for the level of water on the graduations of the cylinder after the water and the cylinder reach thermal equilibrium with the bath? the volume coefficient of expansion of water is 2.07 x 10^-4 k-1, and the linear coefficient of expansion of aluminum is 23.0 x 10^-6 k-1. a) 305.0 cc b) 304.0 cc c) 303.5 cc d) 303.3 cc e) 304.5 cc

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter

You are doing a science experiment with a fahrenheit thermometer. your data must be in degrees celsius. if you measure a temperature of 125°f, what is this temperature in degrees celsius
