On a merry-go-round, animals at the edge are located 4 times farther from the axis of rotation than the animals near the center. The animals near the center has a rotational speed of 3 RPM and a tangential speed of 2 m/sec.

What is the rotational speed of the animals near the edge?

a 3 RPM
b 12 RPM
c 2 RPM
d 6 RPM

Estimate the schwarzschild radius (in kilometers) for a mini-black hole formed when a superadvanced civilization decides to punish you (unfairly) by squeezing you until you become so small that you disappear inside your own event horizon. (assume that the your weight is 50 kg)

Convection currents are caused by differences in what two things?

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
