Conduction: A heat-conducting rod that is wrapped in insulation is constructed with a 0.15-m length of alloy A and a 0.40-m length of alloy B, joined end-to-end. Both pieces have cross-sectional areas of 0.0020 m2. The thermal conductivity of alloy B is known to be 1.8 times as great as that for alloy A. The end of the rod in alloy A is maintained at a temperature of 10°C, and the other end of the rod is maintained at an unknown temperature. When steady state flow has been established, the temperature at the junction of the alloys is measured to be 40°C, and the rate of heat flow in the rod is measured at 56 W. What is the thermal conductivity of alloy A?
A. 120 W/m ? K
B. 125 W/m ? K
C. 130 W/m ? K
D. 135 W/m ? K
E. 140 W/m ? K

Suppose you drop a clock toward a black hole. As you look at the clock from a high orbit, what will you notice?
A) Time on the clock will run slower as it approaches the black hole, and light from the clock will be increasingly redshifted. B) Time on the clock will run faster as it approaches the black hole, and light from the clock will be increasingly blueshifted. C) The clock will fall toward the black hole at a steady rate, so that you'll see it plunge through the event horizon within just a few minutes. D) The clock will fall faster and faster, reaching the speed of light as it crosses the event horizon.
