The silver coating on the inner bottle prevents heat transfer by radiation, and the vacuum between its double wall prevents heat moving by convection. The thinness of the glass walls stops heat entering or leaving the flask by conduction.
Lower the resistance to sliding.
Answer:
a. 
b. 
Explanation:
I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.
Forces applied to the solid disk include:

Other parameters given include:
Mass of solid disk, 
and radius of solid disk, 
a.) The formula for determining torque (
), is 
Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:
using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

where
= Mass of solid disk
and
= radius of solid disk
We then relate the torque and angular acceleration (
) with the formula:

Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.
