A ship is steaming 50° north of east at a speed of 10 km h-¹. The thermometer in the ship was able to observed a temperature decrease at a rate of 1°C per hr. Determine the local rate of temperature change for a station near the ship if the temperature from a point 100km south of the ship is 4°C warmer than the station.

Compare the SI units of specific heat and latent heat and explain any differences.
What are the following temperatures on the Kelvin scale? (a) 68.0 F, an indoor temperature sometimes recommended for energy conservation in winter (b) 134 F, one of the highest atmospheric temperatures ever recorded on Earth (Death Valley, California, 1913) (c) 9890 F, the temperature of the surface of the Sun
You are looking to buy a small piece of land in Hong Kong. The price is "only"' $60,000 per square meter. The land title says the dimensions ale 20 m 30 m. By how much would the total price change if you measured the parcel with a steel tape measure on a day when the temperature was 20 above the temperature that the tape measure was designed for? The dimensions of the land do not change.
You pour coffee into an unlidded cup, intending to drink it 5 minutes later. You can add cream when you pour the cup or right before you drink it. (The cream is at the same temperature either way. Assume that the cream and coffee come into thermal equilibrium with each other very quickly.) Which way will give you hotter coffee? What feature of this question is different from the previous one?
Suppose a gasfilled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0C. (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0C (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. What will the actual final pressure be, taking this into account? Is this a negligible difference?
A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads xC as xF . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.
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.)
In the last chapter, free convection was explained as the result of buoyant forces on hot fluids. Explain the upward motion of air in flames based on the ideal gas law.
Two students make 150-gallons of apple cider when the temperature is 6oC. The applecider is $6/gallon with the coefficient of volume expansion of 280 × 10−6 (°C) −1. a) Howmuch more money (in pennies) would they make for all 150 gallons by refilling the containeron a day when the temperature is 28°C? b) How much more money (in pennies) would theymake for all 150 gallons by refilling the container if they heat it to 50°C? Ignore theexpansion of the container.
If water is cooled from 130 O F to -10 O F, what is the temperature change on the(a) Fahrenheit scale (b) Centigrade scale and (c) Kelvin Scale and Rankine scale?Note: Draw the figure of a thermometer reflecting the given temperatures. Write the formulaand solve for the required quantity. Encircle or box the final answer/s.
An extraterrestrial scientist invents a temperature scale suchthat water freezes at -75°E and boils at 325°E, where E standsfor an extraterrestrial scale. (A)Find an equation that relatestemperature in °E to temperature in °C and (B) What will beits temperature reading for absolute zero?
An object that has a mass of 75.0 g is heated from 50 degrees Celsius to 93 degrees Celsius. If it takes 1450 Joiles for the temperature change to occur, then why is the specific heat of the object? Using Q=mc Delta T
