Two energy resources that do not depend on the sun's energy

a piece of metal and a piece of brick are both sitting in the sun. If both are the same mass, what property of matter will make the metal feel hotter to the touch?

Write the names of the metalloids in order from lowest to highest atomic number.

You are assigned to develop instrumentation to measure the properties of a brine formation, located 900900 meters deep.

When tuning a guitar, a musician plays two strings at once. These sound waves overlap and often appear to get louder and softer if the strings are not in tune. This interaction of overlapping waves is called

During bicycling, a 70 kg person's body produces energy at a rate of about 500 W due to metabolism, 80% of which is converted to heat.

Determine the total mechanical energy of a 250 g baseball if it has a velocity of 30 m/s when it leaves the pitcher's hand 1.2m above the ground.

When distances were carefully measured from Earth to globular clusters above and below the Milky Way plane (where our view of them is not obscured by interstellar dust and gas), their distribution was found to be

Imagine you transfer heat into a gas. This heat splits up in two different ways: Additional thermal energy making the gas hotter and "fuel" for the gas to do work. Let's suppose, 64% of the transferred heat transforms into thermal energy.

How much heat is absorbed by a 61g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 5oC to 29oC?

Explain the relationship between motion and frame of reference.
