Iconic memory is a type of memory that holds visual information for about half a second (0.5 seconds). To demonstrate this type of memory, participants were shown three rows of four letters for 50 milliseconds. They were then asked to recall as many letters as possible, with a 0-, 0.5-, or 1.0-second delay before responding. Researchers hypothesized that longer delays would result in poorer recall. The number of letters correctly recalled is given in the table.

1. In order to determine the size of a home-heating furnace, it is necessary to estimate the heat loss during the coldest day in winter. Provide the rates of heat loss per unit surface area for the following surfaces commonly encountered in house construction. You may assume an inside air temperature of 25°C, an outside temperature of -5°C, and heat transfer coefficients of 20 Wm-2K-1 and 5 Wm-2K-1 between air and the outside and inside surfaces, respectively. The thermal conductivities of glass and air are 1.4 and 0.026 Wm-1K-1, respectively.

a. A 3 mm-thick single-pane glass window.

b. A double-pane glass window consisting of two 3 mm-thick panels separated by a 6 mm-thick layer of stagnant air.

c. A composite wall consisting of a 10-cm-thick brick exterior (k = 1.0 Wm-1K-1), a 10-cm-thick layer of loosely packed glass fiber insulation (k = 0.043 Wm-1K-1), and an inside gypsum plaster wall (k = 0.17 Wm-1K-1) that is 1 cm thick.

d. Workmen installing a wall of the design described in part (c) are asking for a premium to install a vapor barrier on the plaster wall to prevent moisture from diffusing out of the house and condensing in the glass fiber insulation. If the dew point of the moist air in the house were 10°C would you pay the premium? Why?

In this problem you will determine the amount of force a rider needs to exert on a bicycle pedal to accelerate at a rate of 1.0 m/s^2.

(c) Now consider the system consisting of the rear wheel. The system includes the sprocket (gear wheel) attached to it. Assume that the rear sprocket has a radius of 2.5 cm and neglible mass compared to the wheel. Assume that the rear wheel has the same mass, radius, and moment of inertia as the front wheel. The sprocket is driven by the bicycle chain. Assume that the tension in the upper portion of the bicycle chain is nonzero, neglect the tension in the lower portion of the chain. Write a free-body diagram for the system. By considering the torques on the system, find the tension in the chain.

(d) Now consider the system consisting of the crank, which means the front sprocket, and the pedals. The system is mounted on a frictionless axle. Assume that the pedals are a distance of 17 cm from the crack axle, that the front sprocket has a radius of 8.0 cm. Assume that the entire crank assembly has a moment of inertia 2.5 x 10^-2 kg m^2. Assume that the bike pedals are oriented horizontally, and that the rider is pushing straight downward on the forward pedal with a force F, with no force on the back pedal. Write a free-body diagram for the system. By considering the torques on the system, find the force F. Does your answer change if we neglect the moment of inertia of the crank?

(e) Is this a realistic force for a rider to exert on a bike pedal? If not, estimate the maximum acceleration you think is realistic for a bicycle.
