A nail made of iron and a bowl of water have the same temperature because they are on the same table for long time. You transfer heat to them, so the internal energy of each doubles, then... the water will have the higher temperature. the iron will have the higher temperature. both will have the same temperature.

In a study of healthy young men[1], doing 20 push-ups in 1 minute burned an amount of energy per kg that for a 70.0-kg man corresponds to 8.06 calories (kcal). How much would a 70.0-kg man's temperature rise if he did not lose any heat during that time?
Why don't we operate ocean liners by extracting heat from the ocean or operate airplanes by extracting heat from the atmosphere?

A certain steel railroad rails 13 yd in length and weighs 70.0 lb/yd How much thermal energy is required to increase the length of such a rail by 3.0 mm? .Note: Assume the steel has the same specific heal as iron.
Noting the large stresses that can be caused by thermal expansion, an amateur weapon inventor decides to use it to make a new kind of gun. He plans to jam a bullet against an aluminum rod inside a closed invar tube. When he heats the tube, the rod will expand more than the tube and a very strong force will build up. Then, by a method yet to be determined, he will open the tube in a split second and let the force of the rod launch the bullet at very high speed. What is he overlooking?
Does adding heat to a system always increase its internal energy?
A 1.5-kg copper block is given an initial speed of 3.0 m/s on a rough horizontal surface. Because of friction, the block finally comes to rest. (a) If the block absorbs 85% of its initial kinetic energy as internal energy, calculate its increase in temperature. (b) What happens to the remaining energy?
A physicist makes a cup of instant coffee and notices that, as the coffee cools, its level drops 3.00 mm in the glass cup. Show that this decrease cannot be due to thermal contraction by calculating the decrease in level if the 350 cm3 of coffee is in a 7.00-cm-diameter cup and decreases in temperature from 95.0 to 45.0 . (Most of the drop in level is actually due to escaping bubbles of air.)
You need to pick up a very hot cooking pot in your kitchen. You have a pair of cotton oven mitts. To pick up the pot most comfortably, should you soak them in cold water or keep them dry?

When heal transfers into a system, is the energy stored as heat? Explain briefly.
When our bodies get too warm, they respond by sweating and increasing blood circulation to the surface to transfer thermal energy away from the core. What effect will those processes have on a person in a 40.0 hot tub?
