Thermal Storage Solar heating of a house is much more efficient if there is a way to store the thermal energy collected during the day to warm the house at night. Suppose one solar-heated home utilizes a concrete slab of area 12 m 2 and 25 cm thick. (a) If the density of concrete is 2400kg/m 3 , what is the mass of the slab? (b) The slab is exposed to sunlight and absorbs energy at a rate of 1.4 × 10 7 J/h for 10 h. If it begins the day at 22 °C and has a specific heat of 750J/(kg.K), what is its temperature at sunset? (c) Model the concrete slab as being surrounded on both sides (contact area 24 m 2 ) with a 2.0-m-thick layer of air in contact with a surface that is 5.0 °C cooler than the concrete. At sunset, what is the rate at which the concrete loses thermal energy by conduction through the air layer? (d) Model the concrete slab as having a surface area of 24 m 2 and surrounded by an environment 5.0 °C cooler than the concrete. If its emissivity is 0.94, what is the rate at which the concrete loses thermal energy by radiation at sunset?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows through the gastric mucous
lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo). Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will
never experience symptoms. Others may develop peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H.
pylori is a prokaryotic flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is
composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50 x 103 rpm. If the speed
of the bacterium is 10.0 μm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00
* 10² rad?
