When you apply increasing thermal energy to a certain material, it reaches a temperature of 50 degrees C. However, when it reaches this emperature, applying more increasing thermal energy does not cause the temperature to rise. Which of the following best explains what i happening? O a b Oc The system is having its heat leaking out that is not going into the material The material is at its phase change temperature and the thermal energy is going to change the phase instead of increase the temperature The material is made of a heat resistant alloy that is preventing the thermal energy from being fully absorbed The material has already absorbed enough thermal energy and cannot absorb any more

Broiling is a method of cooking by radiation, which produces somewhat different results from cooking by conduction or convection. A gas flame or electric heating element produces a very high temperature close to the food and above it. is radiation the dominant heat-transfer method in this situation?
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.
The rate of heat conduction out of a window on a winter day is rapid enough to chill the air next to it To see just how rapidly the windows transfer heat by conduction, calculate the rate of conduction in watts through a 3.00-m2 window that is 0.634 cm thick (1/4 in.) if the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces are 5.00 and 10.0 , respectively. (This rapid rate will not be maintained—the inner surface will cool, even to the point of frost formation.)
A 0.0500-kg ice cube at 30.0 is placed in 0.400 kg of 35.0- water in a very well-insulated container. What is the final temperature?
A 5.0-kg block of aluminum is heated from 20C to 90C at atmospheric pressure. Find (a) the work done by the aluminum, (b) the amount of energy transferred to it by heat, and (c) the increase in its internal energy.
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.)
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.
Putting a lid on a boiling pot greatly reduces the heat transfer necessary to keep it boiling. Explain why.
A large room in a house holds 975 kg of dry air at 30.0C. A woman opens a window briefly and a cool breeze brings in an additional 50.0 kg of dry air at 18.0C. At what temperature will the two air masses come into thermal equilibrium, assuming they form a closed system? (The specific heat of dry air is 1 006 J/kg C, although that value will cancel out of the calorimetry equation.)
Describe a situation in which heat transfer occurs.
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.
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
