To conduct an experiment, the room temperature in a lab needs to be as close as possible to -2 degrees Celsius. Any variation from this target temperature, whether warmer or cooler, is considered an error that could atfect the experiment. Function v gives the absolute temperature error as a function of the room temperature in degrees Celsius, x. Select all statements that are true about the function and the situation. When the room temperature is 0 degrees Celsius, v(0) has a value of 2. B When the room temperature is -3 degrees Celsius, the absolute temperature error, v(-3), is -1. When the room temperature is 3 degrees Celsius, v(3) is 5. D The equation v(x)= |x - 2| gives us the absolute temperature error when the room temperature is x degrees Celsius. When v(x) = 0.5, the room temperature could be -1.5 or -2.5 degrees Celsius. The equation v(x) = x + 2| gives us the absolute temperature error when the room temperature is x degrees Celsius.

Figure P20.45 shows a phase diagram of carbon dioxide in terms of pressure and temperature, a. Use the phase diagram to explain why dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates into vapor at atmospheric pressure rather than melting into a liquid. At what temperature does the dry ice sublimate when at atmospheric pressure? b. Estimate what pressure would be needed to liquefy carbon dioxide at room temperature.
(a) If you toss 10 coins, what percent of the time will you get the three most likely macrostates (6 heads and 4 tails, 5 heads and 5 tails, 4 heads and 6 tails)? (b) You can realistically toss 10 coins and count the number of heads and tails about twice a minute. At mat rate, how long will it take on average to get either 10 heads and 0 tails or 0 heads and 10 tails?
Unreasonable Results The temperature inside a supernova explosion is said to be 2.001013K. (a) What would the average velocity vrmsof hydrogen atoms be? (b) What is unreasonable about this velocity? (b) Which premise or assumption is responsible?
(a) Calculate the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a car radiator at 110C into a 50.0C environment, if the radiator has an emissivity of 0.750 and a 1.20m2 surface area. (b) Is this a significant fraction of the heat transfer by an automobile engine? To answer this, assume a horsepower of 200 hp (1.5 kW) and the efficiency of automobile engines as 25%.
Engineers are frequently called on to inspect and, if necessary, repair equipment in nuclear power plants. Suppose that the city lights go out. After inspecting the nuclear reactor, you find a leaky pipe that leads from the steam generator to turbine chamber, (a) How do the pressure readings for the turbine chamber and steam condenser compare? (b) Why is the nuclear reactor not generating electricity?
Consider a gas filling two connected chambers that are separated by a removable barrier (Fig. P20.68). The gas molecules on the left (red) are initially at a higher temperature than the ones on the right (blue). When the barrier between the two chambers is removed, the molecules begin to mix and move from one chamber to the other. a. Describe what happens to the temperature in the left chamber and in the right chamber as time goes on, once the barrier is open. Discuss in terms of the mixing of the molecules from each gas. b. Describe what happens to the most probable speed and average speed in the left chamber and in the right chamber as time goes on, once the barrier is open. Do they increase or decrease by the same factor? Explain. FIGURE P20.68 Problems 68 and 69.
