At night, the surface of the earth cools, mostly by radiation. The surface radiates energy upward; the much cooler sky above radiates much less. Patches of ground under trees can stay warmer, which is why, if you live somewhere that has cold, clear nights, you may have noticed some mornings when there is frost on open patches of ground but not under trees. Why does being under a tree keep the ground warmer?
You are in space, compare the rate of heat loss for bare skin vs. a nice thick layer of polychloroprene (space suit material). How thick should your space suit be to be comfortable? specific heat of human body is 3500 J/kg K, specific heat of polychloroprene 2200 J/kg K, temperature in space 2.6 K.

After driving a car for a long time, you can feel how warm the engine is when you place your hand on the hood or even just close to the hood. What form (forms) of heat transfer are taking place?
Consider a double-pane window consisting of two glass sheets separated by a 1-cm-wide air space. Someone suggests inserting a thin vinyl sheet in the middle of the two glasses to form two 0.5-cm-wide compartments in the window in order to reduce natural convection heat transfer through the window. From a heat transfer point of view, would you be in favor of this idea to reduce heat losses through the window?
You stand on top of a skyscraper and drop a rubber ball from a height of 163 m. As the ball bounces off the floor it converts some of its energy into thermal energy -- it becomes warmer. Eventually, it stops bouncing and it has converted all the energy it initially had into thermal energy. How much has its temperature risen? (The specific heat of rubber is 2005 J/(kg*K).) Explain why it is very unlikely that the rubber ball from the previous question will spontaneously jump back up onto the skyscraper when you heat it up.
Imagine a 40,000-km steel pipe that forms a ring to fit snugly entirely around the circumference of Earth. Suppose that people along its length breathe on it so as to raise its temperature by 1°C. The pipe gets longer—and is also no longer snug. How high does it stand above ground level? Show that the answer is an astounding 70 m higher! (To simplify, consider only the expansion of its radial distance from the center of Earth, and apply the geometry formula that relates circumference
