A2-kg bowling ball is 2.5 meters off the ground on a post when it falls. just before it reaches the ground, it is traveling 7 m/s. assuming that there is no air resistance, which statement is true?

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?

Apulley system is used to lift a 2,000 newton engine up a distance of 3 meters. the operator must apply a force of 250 newtons to the chain of the pulley system to lift the motor. to lift the engine 3 meters, the operator must pull a total of 30 meters of chain through the pulley system. what is the value of di?
