There is a "dead-air" layer next to your skin that acts as insulation. if the dead-air layer is 5.0 mm thick, what is the person's rate of heat loss by conduction?

Consider the following problem: a box with an open top is to be constructed from a square piece of cardboard, 3 ft wide, by cutting out a square from each of the four corners and bending up the sides. find the largest volume that such a box can have.

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

The first-order reaction a→2b+c has rate constant 0.538 s−1. if the initial concentration of a is 0.867 mol l−1, what is the half-life of the reaction in seconds? remember to use correct significant figures in your answer (round your answer to the nearest hundredth). do not include units in your response.
