Using graphical methods, estimate the temperature distribution through the phenolic disk surrounding the silicon chip sketched in Figure 2-61. Then estimate the heat transfer per unit depth.
The force of gravity between two objects:
A) increases with the masses of the bodies, but decreases with their separations. B) increases with the masses of the bodies, but decreases with the square of the distances between them. C) increases with the square of their masses, but decreases with the cube of their periods of orbit about the Sun. D) depends on the density, not the mass of the bodies. E) depends on the temperature, density, and size of the bodies.
We know the Sun rotates differentially by observing sunspots; as with Jupiter the solar equator rotates the fastest

A bowling ball size probe from a spaceship and a pebble size object land on a large asteroid that is far from any star. After a long period of time has passed, it is highly probable that the pebble and the probe
a. have each had the same change in temperature. b. have each had the same change in volume. c. are in thermal equilibrium with one another. d. are not in thermal equilibrium with one another. e. are in thermal equilibrium with one another, but are not at the same temperature.
