A small spinning asteroid is in a circular orbit around a star, much like the earth's motion around our sun. The asteroid has a surface area of 8.90 m2. The total power it absorbs from the star is 3400 W. Assuming the surface is an ideal absorber and radiator, calculate the equilibrium temperature of the asteroid (in K).

Acaterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. eventually, it reaches the top. when it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. what is the total displacement traveled?

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.

Select all the correct answers. which changes will increase the rate of reaction during combustion? decreasing the area of contact between the reactants adding more oxygen to the reaction removing heat from the reaction changing the reactants from solid form to powdered form lowering the exposure of the reactants to air
