5.59 kg of an incompressible liquid undergoes a temperature change of 29.1 degrees Celsius and an increase of 2.46 kJ in its internal energy. Estimate its specific heat; write your answer using 3 significant digits in SI units.

Calculate the kinetic energy of earth due to its spinning about its axis. krot = j compare your answer with the kinetic energy of the orbital motion of earth's center of mass about the sun. assume earth to be a homogeneous sphere of mass 6.00 1024 kg and radius 6.40 106 m. the radius of earth's orbit is 1.50 1011 m.

The extremely high temperatures needed to trigger nuclear fusion are proposed to be generated by laser irradiating a spherical pellet of deuterium and tritium fuel of diameter 1.8 mm. (a) determine the maximum fuel temperature that can be achieved by irradiating the pellet with 200 lasers, each producing a power of 550 w. the pellet has an absorptivity 0.3 and emissivity 0.8.

This is a form of winter precipitation. it is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. the raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth. this precipitation is called a) hail. b) rain. c) sleet. d) snow.
