You leave a pastry in the refrigerator on a plate and ask your roommate to take it out before you get home so you can eat it at room temperature, the way you like it Instead, your roommate plays video games for hours. When you return, you notice that the pastry is still cold, but the game console has become hot. Annoyed, and knowing that the pastry w-ill not be good if it is microwaved, you warm up the pastry by unplugging the console and putting it in a clean trash bag (which acts as a perfect calorimeter) with the pastry on the plate. After a while, you find that the equilibrium temperature is a nice, warm 38.3 ℃. You know that the game console has a mass of 2.1 kg. Approximate it as having a uniform initial temperature of 45 ℃. The pastry has amass of 0.16 kg and a specific heat of 3.0 k J/(kg . ℃), and is at a uniform initial temperature of 4.0 ℃. The plate is at the same temperature and has a mass of 0.24 kg and a specific heat of 0.90 J/(kg . ℃). What is the specific heat of the console?

- (a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a I .40-m surface area? Assume that the animal's skin temperature is 32.0 , that the air temperature is 5.00 , and that has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forwardDuring a chemistry lab, you take a 0.4 kg sample of ice and put it in a beaker with a thermometer. You then place the beaker with the ice on 0 the temperature of the ice is -18 = a hot plate, and turn on the hot plate. This hot plate adds heat to the ice at a rate of 330 W. At time t °C. Because of the large heat capacity of water and ice, you may assume in this problem that all the heat goes into the sample of ice, and that we can ignore the amount of heat going into the beaker and thermometer. Also assume no heat escapes from the system. Some useful values: ● Specific heat of water: C = Specific heat of ice: Ci = 2100 J/kg K • Latent heat of fusion: L = 334 000 J/kg ● 4200 J/kg K = 1a) At what time does the ice reach a temperature of -3.5°C? answer= units? 1b) At what time has all the ice melted? answer= units?

The surface radiates energy upward; the much cooler sky above radiates much less. Patches of ground under trees can stay warmer, which is why, if you livesomewhere that has cold, clear nights, you may have noticed some mornings when there is frost on open patches of ground but not under trees. Why does being under a tree keep the ground warmer?arrow_forward
- The inside of an oven is at a temperature of 200C 1392F2. Youcan put your hand in the oven without injury as long as you don’t touchanything. But since the air inside the oven is also at 200C, why isn’tyour hand burned just the same?arrow_forwardOn a cold day, you grab a piece of metal and a fallen tree limb, both with bare hands. Both have been lying outside for a long time and are at the same temperature. The metal feels colder than the tree limb. Why?arrow_forwardAn incandescent lightbulb is an inexpensive but highly inefficient device that converts electrical energy into light. It converts about 10 percent of the electrical energy it consumes into light while converting the remaining 90 percent into heat. (A fluorescent lightbulb will give the same amount of light while consuming only one-fourth of the electrical energy, and it will last 10 times longer than an incandescent lightbulb.) The glass bulb of the lamp heats up very quickly as a result of absorbing all that heat and dissipating it to the surroundings by convection and radiation. Consider a 10-cm-diameter 100-W lightbulb cooled by a fan that blows air at 30°C to the bulb at a velocity of 2 m/s. The surrounding surfaces are also at 30°C, and the emissivity of the glass is 0.9. Assuming 10 percent of the energy passes through the glass bulb as light with negligible absorption and the rest of the energy is absorbed and dissipated by the bulb itself, determine the equilibrium temperature…arrow_forward
- What is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors? (A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator. (B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity. (C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light. (D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.arrow_forward5 kg of fish (Cp =3600 J/KgK) is placed in a storage box that has A=0,45 m2 and k=0,025 W/mK. The storage box wall is 2 cm. The fish temperature within the box is -1°C when it is packed. a) how much heat goes through the storage box wall if it is forgotten outsite in 20°C b)How long time does it take the fish to get to the same temperature as the surronding.arrow_forwardAccording to the USDA, an average, \moderately active" college student needs to eat 2500 calories per day. These \calories" are actually kilocalories, or kcal; and, we prefer to use Joules (J) in geophysics. The conversion is 1 kcal = 4187 J. The average geothermal heat ux is 60 mW/m2. How large an area on Earth's surface releases the same amount of energy in one day as used by the average college student in a day?arrow_forward
- The giant hornet Vespa mandarinia japonica preys on Japanese bees. However, if one of the hornets attempts to invade a beehive, several hundred of the bees quickly form a compact ball around the hornet to stop it. They don’t sting, bite, crush, or suffocate it. Rather they overheat it by quickly raising their body temperatures from the normal 35 C to 47 C or 48 C, which is lethal to the hornet but not to the bees . Assume the following: 500 bees form a ball of radius R=2.0 cm for a time t= 20 min, the primary loss of energy by the ball is by thermal radiation, the ball’s surface has emissivity ´=0.80, and the ball has a uniform temperature. On average, how much additional energy must each bee produce during the 20 min to maintain 47 C?arrow_forwardElectronics and inhabitants of the International Space Station generate a significant amount of thermal energy that the station must get rid of. The only way that the station can exhaust thermal energy is by radiation, which it does using thin, 1.7 m -by-3.8 m panels that have a working temperature of about 6° C. How much power is radiated from each panel? Assume that the panels are in the shade so that the absorbed radiation will be negligible. Assume that the emissivity of the panels is 1.0.

Ignore any heating by the person's metabolism. The specific heat capacity of a human body is 3480 J/kg⋅KJ/kg⋅K. Is the change in the person's body temperature great enough to be measured by a medical thermometer? (A high-quality medical thermometer can measure temperature changes as small as 0.1∘C∘C or less.)arrow_forward
