Wonder Woman and Superman fly to an altitude of 1510 km, carrying between them a chest full of jewels that they intend to put into orbit around Earth. They want to make this tempting treasure inaccessible to their evil enemies who are trying to gain possession of it, yet keep it available for themselves for future use when they retire and settle down. But perhaps the time to retire is now! They accidentally drop the chest, which leaves their weary hands at rest, and discover that they are no longer capable of catching it as it falls into the Pacific Ocean.

At what speed does the chest impact the surface of the water? Ignore air resistance, although in the real world it would make a world of difference. The radius and mass of Earth are 6370 km and 5.98 × 1024 kg, respectively.

An insulated thermos contains 148 g of water at 72.7 ˚c. you put in a 11.7 g ice cube at 0.00 ˚c to form a system of ice + original water. the specific heat of liquid water is 4190 j/kg•k; and the heat of fusion of water is 333 kj/kg. what is the net entropy change of the system from then until the system reaches the final (equilibrium) temperature?

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)

An electron is trapped at a defect in a crystal. the defect may be modeled as a one-dimensional, rigid-walled box of width 1.00 nm. (a) sketch the wavefunctions and probability densities for the n 1 and n 2 states. (b) for the n 1 state, nd the probability of nding the electron between x1 0.15 nm and x2 0.35 nm, where x 0 is the left side of the box. (c) repeat (b) for the n 2 state. (d) calculate the energies in electron volts of the n 1 and n 2 states
