One of the tallest buildings in the world is the taipei 101 in taiwan, at a height of 1671 feet. assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was 15.5°c. you could use the building as a sort of giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. suppose you do this and discover that the taipei 101 is 0.471 foot taller than its official height. what is the temperature, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibrium with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel?

Which configuration would produce an electric current? a) rotate a coil of copper wire between two magnets. b) connect a wire between a copper and zinc strip sitting in a beaker of water. c) connect a wire to the (+) positive end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb. d) connect a wire to the negative end of a battery and the other end to a light bulb.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

An electron in an x-ray machine is accelerated through a potential difference of 1.00 × 104 v before it hits the target. what is the kinetic energy of the electron in electron volts?
