Two students discuss why a metal chair feels colder than other objects in the room. Student 1: Since feeling cold is just about temperature, the metal chair must have a temperature than anything else in the room. That's why it feels colder. Student 2: Feeling cold isn't just about temperature, it's about how quickly you're losa chair feels colder, it must be taking your heat faster. Which of these students, if any, do you agree with?

At what net rate does heat radiate from a 275m2 black roof on a night when the roof’s temperature is 30.0C and the surrounding temperature is 15.0C ? The emissivity of the roof is 0.900.
In winters, if is often warmer in San Francisco than in nearby Sacramento, 150 km inland. In summers, it is nearly always hotter in Sacramento. Explain how the bodies of water surrounding San Francisco moderate its extreme temperatures.
When watching a daytime circus in a large, darkcolored tent, you sense significant heat transfer from the tent. Explain why this occurs.
When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction between the brake drams and the brake shoes converts the cars kinetic energy to thermal energy. If a 1 500-kg automobile traveling at 30 m/s comes to a halt, how much does the temperature rise in each of the four 8.0-kg iron brake drums? (The specific heat of iron is 448J/kg C.)
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the single story house to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors.
In Section 5.2, we discussed the phenomenon of thermal expansion. Concept Map 5.4 was to have been used to help you organize and understand this material better. When the map was printed, however, we realized that several key concepts and linking words and phrases had been left out, because it was too late to make any changes in the book+it now becomes your task to complete the map, entering the missing information in the appmpriate places. If you have any trouble doing so, review the reading on thermal expansion and make a lank-ordered list of the important concepts you find there. Use the list in addressing the omissions in the map provided.
A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.80 m and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0C, and the outside temperature is 25C. If it takes 8.0 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal conductivity of the Styrofoam.
- (a) Compute the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water from its freezing point to its normal boiling point. (b) How does your answer to (a) compare to the amount of heat needed to convert 1 kg of water at 100° C to steam at 100°C?
A 0.250kg aluminum bowl holding 0.800 kg of soup at 25.0C is placed in a freezer. What is the final temperature if 377 kJ of energy is transferred from the bowl and soup, assuming the soup's thermal properties are the same as that of water? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in ProblemSolving Strategies for the Effects of Heat Transfer.
On average, would Earth be warmer or cooler without the atmosphere? Explain your answer.
For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body’s tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the change in temperature is 2.00C, and the skin area is 1.50m2. How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)
