A wall in a building has a width of 15 m and a height of 3 m. It is made of several layers — a layer of motionless air with an R value of 0.12 K m^2 / W, a 12.4 mm thick layer of gypsum board with a thermal conductivity of 0.17 W/m K, a layer of brick with an R value of 1.7 m^2/ W, and another layer of motionless air with an R value of 0.12 K m^2 / W.
(a) If the temperature inside the building is 27.2 °C and the temperature outside is 33.1 °C, how much power will flow through the wall in steady state?
(b) How much power will flow if we add a layer of foam insulation with an R value of 27.0 K m2/ W?

In the figure here, a red car and a green car move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at xr = 0 and the green car is at xg = 222 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 25.0 km/h, the cars pass each other at x = 43.0 m. On the other hand, if the red car has a constant velocity of 50.0 km/h, they pass each other at x = 76.3 m. What are (a) the initial velocity and (b) the (constant) acceleration of the green car? Include the signs.

Galactic Dynamics. Imagine that you are an occupant of a strange, distant galaxy, living on a planet in a solar system 10 kpc away from the galaxy's center. Looking along a galactic longitude of I 25°, you determine the orbital velocity of a cloud to be v = all orbits to be circular. 250 km/s. Take (a) You determine that this cloud is at the subcentral point-what is its orbital radius? (b) What is the mass interior to the cloud's orbit? (c) Observations show that the density is constant in this galaxy out to your radius (10 kpc)-what orbital velocity? is your (d) What is the escape velocity for a star that shares your orbital radius?
