The measured value of the latent heat of vaporization of helium (at 1 atm) is 84 J/mol. Use this to estimate the binding energy of helium atoms in the liquid.
a. 2.6 x 10-6 eV
b. 3.6 x 10-4 eV
c. 5.1 x 10-4 eV
d. 8.6 x 10-3 eV
e. 3.6 x 10-2 eV

When someone slams her books on a table the kinect energy is transferred into vibrations that travel to your ears as sound waves which statement describes the movement of those waves

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

An architect plans to use solar energy to heat the next house he designs. what principle of absorption and infrared energy can be applied to the design of the new house? how could she apply to those principals?
