- At a spot in the high Andes, water boils at 80.0C, greatly reducing the cooking speed of potatoes, for example. What is atmospheric pressure at this location?arrow_forwardWhen a cold alcohol thermometer is placed in a hot liquid, the column of alcohol goes down slightly before going up. Explain why.arrow_forwardWhat is the atmospheric pressure on top of Mt. Everest on a day when water boils there at a temperature at 70.0C ?arrow_forward
- Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00 C. Assume the column is not free to expand sideways. As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean wan-ling is not uniform with depth.arrow_forwardConsider a container of nitrogen gas molecules at 900 K. Calculate (a) the most probable speed, (b) the average speed, and (c) the rms speed for the molecules. (d) State how your results compare with the values displayed in Figure 21.11.arrow_forwardA 250-m-long bridge is improperly designed so that it cannot expand with temperature. It is made of concrete with = 12 106 (C)1. (a) Assuming the maximum change in temperature at the site is expected to be 20C, find the change in length the span would undergo if it were free to expand. (b) Show that the stress on an object with Youngs modulus Y when raised by T with its ends Firmly fixed is given by a Y T. (c) If the maximum stress the bridge can withstand without crumbling is 2.0 107 Pa, will it crumble because of this temperature increase? Youngs modulus for concrete is about 2.0 1010 Pa.arrow_forward
- Some incandescent light bulbs are filled with argon gas. What is vrms for argon atoms near the filament, assuming their temperature is 2500 K?arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod and an iron rod are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The two rods have equal lengths and radii. The free end of the aluminum rod is maintained at a temperature of 100.C, and the free end of the iron rod is maintained at 0C. (a) Determine the temperature of the interface between the two rods. (b) If each rod is 15 cm long and each has a cross-sectional area of 5.0 cm2, what quantity of energy is conducted across the combination in 30. min?arrow_forwardThe evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for cooling the human body. Estimate the amount of water you will lose when you bake in the sun on the beach for an hour. Use a value of 1 000 W/m2 for the intensity of sun-light and note that the energy required to evaporate a liquid at a particular temperature is approximately equal to the sum of the energy required to raise its temperature to the boiling point and the latent heat of vaporization (determined at the boiling point).arrow_forward
- Does it really help to run hot water over a tight metal lid on a glass jar before flying to open it? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider a person outdoors on a cold night. Construct a problem in which you calculate the rate of heat transfer from the person by all three heat transfer methods. Make the initial circumstances such that at rest the person will have a net heat transfer and then decide how much physical activity of a chosen type is necessary to balance the rate of heat transfer. Among the things to consider are the size of the person, type of clothing, initial metabolic rate, sky conditions, amount of water evaporated, and volume of air breathed. Of course, there are many other factors to consider and your instructor may wish to guide you in the assumptions made as well as the detail of analysis and method of presenting your results.arrow_forward
