The cubit is an ancient unit of measurement for length, where 1 cubit is approximately 444.25 mm. A cubic cubit (cubit3) is a measurement of volume. You have a steel container completely filled with gasoline. How many cubic cubits will spill out of the 28.8 cubits3 containers when the temperature is raised from 21.5 °C to 48.7 °C?

Scientists are studying the temperature on a distant planet. They find that the surface temperature at one location is 25° Celsius. They also find that the temperature decreases by 3° Celsius for each kilometer you go up from the surface. Let T represent the temperature (in Celsius), and let H be the height above the surface (in kilometers). Write an equation relating T to H, and then graph your equation using the axes below. * T axis (y) goes up to 30 (counting by 5's) * H axis(x) goes up to 8 (counting by 1's) **Be sure to write out the points too

the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
The quantity of energy Q transferred by heat conduction through an insulating pad in time interval Δt is described by Q/Δt = κAΔT/d, where κ is the thermal conductivity of the material, A is the face area of the pad (perpendicular to the direction of heat flow), ΔT is the difference in temperature across the pad, and d is the thickness of the pad. In one trial to test material as lining for sleeping bags, 86.0 J of heat is transferred through a 3.40-cm-thick pad when the temperature on one side is 37.0°C and on the other side is 2.00°C. In a trial of the same duration with the same temperatures, how much heat will be transferred when more of the material is added to form a pad with the same face area and total thickness 8.41 cm?
