Your house will be empty for a while in cold weather and want to save energy and money. Should you tum the thermostat down to the lowest level that will protect the house from damage such as freezing pipes, or leave it at the normal temperature? (If you don't like coming back to a cold house, imagine that a timer controls the heating system so the house will be warm when you get back.) Explain your answer.
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?
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
In a showdown on the streets of Laredo, the good guy drops a 5.00-g silver bullet at a temperature of 20.0C into a 100-cm3 cup of water at 90.0C. Simultaneously, the bad guy drops a 5.00-g copper bullet at the same initial temperature into an identical cup of water. Which one ends the showdown with the coolest cup of water in the West? Neglect any energy transfer into or away from the container.
Calorimetry On a hot day, the temperature of an 80,000-L swimming pool increases by 1.50 . What is the net heat transfer during this heating? Ignore any complications, such as loss of water by evaporation.
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.
