An object with mass 0.190 kg is acted on by an elastic restoring force with force constant 10.8 N/m. The object is set into oscillation with an initial potential energy of 0.150 J and an initial kinetic energy of 6.90×10−2 J.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

A47.2 g block of copper whose temperature is 480 k is placed in an insulating box with a 91.8 g block of lead whose temperature is 200 k. (a) what is the equilibrium temperature of the two-block system? (b) what is the change in the internal energy of the two-block system between the initial state and the equilibrium state? (c) what is the change in the entropy of the two-block system? the heat capacities of copper and lead are 386 j/kg·k and 128 j/kg·k, respectively.

Consider a production line with five stations. station 1 can produce a unit in 9 minutes. station 2 can produce a unit in 10 minutes. station 3 has two identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the two machines. station 4 can produce a unit in 5 minutes. station 5 can produce a unit in 8 minutes. which station is the bottleneck station?
