An object at an unknown temperature is placed in a room which is held at a constant temperature of 30 F. If after 10 minutes the temperature of the object is 0 F and after 20 minutes the temperature of the body is 15 F, what is the initial temperature of the object? Assume Newton's Law of Cooling which states that the rate of change of the temperature of a body is proportional to the temperature difference between the body and its surrounding medium. Choose the correct answer from among the given choices. -55 F -30 F (с) -14 F -12 F

If the gas in Exercise 23 is initially at room temperature (20C) and is heated in an isobaric (constant-pressure) process, then what will be the temperature of the gas in degrees Celsius when it has expanded to a volume of 0.700 m3?
Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)

Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.

Suppose you want to raise the temperature of a mass m of ice from T0 < 0 °C to T > 100 °C. In this problem, represent the heat of fusion as Lf, the heat of vaporization as Lv, and the temperatures at which the phase changes occur as Tf and Tv. How much heat must be transferred for this to happen, including the energy needed for phase changes? Your answer should be in terms of the variables in the introduction and the specific heats of ice (ci), water (cw), and steam (cs). The talent heats are Lf= 334kJ/kg and Lv=2256kJ/kg?

Hot or cold objects are observed to cool down or warm up, respectively, to reachthe temperature of the environment. If the temperature difference ∆T between the object and its neighborhood(∆T = Tobjeto - Tvizinha¸ca) is not large, the cooling or heating rate of the object will beapproximately proportional to the temperature difference, i.e,d ∆T/dt = -A (∆T) ,where A is a positive constant.
