What is the "cosmic haystack problem"? List as many of its components as you can think of.

When a force on an object increases how does the object's acceleration change?

The rate of heat conduction out of a window on a winter day is rapid enough to chill the air next to it. To see just how rapidly windows conduct heat, calculate the rate of conduction in watts through a 2.82 m2 window that is 0.

What type of rays are used to locate cavities in teeth? Radio waves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, microwaves, x-rays, or gamma rays
