A 40.0-g ice cube floats in 200 g of water in a 100-g copper cup; all are at a temperature of 0C. A piece of lead at 98.0C is dropped into the cup, and the final equilibrium temperature is 12.0C. What is the mass of the lead?
Steam at 100.C is added to ice at 0C. (a) Find the amount of ice melted and the final temperature when the mass of steam is 10. g and the mass of ice is 50. g. (b) Repeat with steam of mass 1.0 g and ice of mass 50. g.
An empty metal soap dish barely floats in water. A bar of Ivory soap floats in water. When the soap is stuck in the soap dish, the combination sinks. Explain why.
Ethyl alcohol has about one-half the specific heat of water. Assume equal amounts of energy are transferred by heat into equal-mass liquid samples of alcohol and water in separate insulated containers. The water rises in temperature by 25C. How much will the alcohol rise in temperature? (a) It will rise by 12C. (b) It will rise by 25C. (c) It will rise by 50C. (d) It depends on the rate of energy transfer. (e) It will not rise in temperature.
A piece of unpainted porous wood barely floats in an open container partly filled with water. The container is then sealed and pressurized above atmospheric pressure. What happens to the wood? (a) It rises in the water. (b) It sinks lower in the water. (c) It remains at the same level.
(¦ Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically require integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) . Double-paned thermal insulating windows consist of two glass panels separated by a narrow gap from which most of the air has been removed to create a near vacuum in the space between the panes. Explain how this design helps to better insulate a home than a window that is made from a single sheet of glass.
You observe two helium balloons floating next to each other at the ends of strings secured to a table. The facing surfaces of the balloons are separated by 1-2 cm. You blow through the opening between the balloons. What happens to the balloons? (a) They move toward each other. (b) They move away from each other. (c) They are unaffected.
Liquids and solids expand with increasing temperature, because the kinetic energy of a body's atoms and molecules increases. Explain why some materials shrink with increasing temperature.
You observe two helium balloons floating next to each other at the ends of strings secured to a table. The facing surfaces of the balloons are separated by 12 cm. You blow through the small space between the balloons. What happens to the balloons? (a) They move toward each other. (b) They move away from each other. (c) They are unaffected.
As an oil well is drilled, each new section of drill pipe support its own weight and the weight of the pipe and the drill bit beneath it. Calculate the stretch in a new 6.00m -long steel pipe that supports a 100kg drill bit and a 3.00km length of pipe with a linear mass density of 20.0kg/m . Treat the pipe as a solid cylinder with a 5.00cm diameter.
A box with a total surface area of 1.20 m2 and a wall thickness of 4.00 cm is made of an insulating material. A 10.0-W electric heater inside the box maintains the inside temperature at 15.0C above the outside temperature. Find the thermal conductivity k of the insulating material.
In each situation listed, an objects temperature increases. For each situation, decide if energy was transferred to the object through heat or work. Explain your answers. a. A pitcher of water is removed from the refrigerator and left on the kitchen counter. b. A rubber ball is bounced (repeatedly) against the floor. c. A meteor falls through the Earths atmosphere.
