In a class debate, a student argues that the big bang theory is "just a theory." what is most likely to be this student's understanding of scientific theories? a. theories agree with observations of nature. b. theories are just guesses. c. theories are based on large amounts of scientific evidence. d. theories can be used to make predictions.

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?

What is the measurement of how fast an object moves relative to a reference point?

1kg of water needs to recieve 4200j of energy to go from 90 degrees to 91 degrees. what is the specific heat capacity of water? what are the units?
