- The tea in a cup of tea has a temperature of 50 degree celsius and a certain internal energy. If all of a sudden you pour half of the water onto the floor, does the temperature of the tea in the cup change? and the internal energy?. EXPLAINarrow_forwardA pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature. If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won’t be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn’s brain cooler than its body in suchcircumstances.)arrow_forwardCan heat flow either into or out of a substance without the substance changing temperature? If not, why? If so, explain and give an example of such a process.arrow_forward
- Compare the SI units of specific heat and latent heat and explain any differences.arrow_forwardIf you add boiling water to a cup at room temperature, what would you expect the final equilibrium temperature of the unit to be? You will need to include 1he surroundings as pan of the system. Consider the zeroth law of thermodynamics.arrow_forwardWhy are there two specific heats for gases Cp and Cv , yet only one given for solid?arrow_forward
- Using Table 15.4, verify the contention that if you toss 100 coins each second, you can expect to get 100 heads or 100 tails once in 21022 years; calculate the time to twodigit accuracy.arrow_forwardWhen heat transfers into a system, is the energy stored as heat? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardThe temperature difference between the hot and cold fluids in a heat exchanger is given to be DT1 at one end and DT2 at the other end. Can the logarithmic temperature difference DTlm of this heat exchanger be greater than both DT1 and DT2? Explain.arrow_forward
- Heat always flows spontaneously from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature. Is this the same thing as saying that heat always flows from an object with a greater internal energy to one with a lower internal energy? Explain.arrow_forward‘An object contains more heat’- is it a right statement? If not why?arrow_forwardA 53−kg person drinks5.4×102g of milk, which has a caloric value of approximately 3.0 kJ/g.If only 17 percent of the energy in milk is converted to mechanical work, how high (in meters) can the person climb based on this energy intake? Enter your answer in scientific notation. Hint: The work done in ascending is given by mgh, where m is the mass (in kg), g is the gravitational acceleration(9.8 m/s2), and h is the height (in meters).arrow_forward
