Explain how frost wedging causes the breaking down of rocks into small pieces

What type of light does this light bulb produce most (i.e. at what wavelength does the spectrum have maximum intensity)?

As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is 100) a) static friction. b) kinetic friction. c) a combination of static and kinetic friction. d) neither static nor kinetic friction, but some other type of friction. e) it is impossible to tell what type of friction acts in this situation.

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?
