- (a) The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount at heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9C temperature increase? (b) Compare your answer to labeling information found on a package of peanuts and comment on whether the values are consistent.arrow_forwardA bag containing 0C ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount at 0C water. a. How much heat transfer is necessary to raise the temperature of 0.800 kg of water from 0C to 30.0C ? b. How much heat transfer is required to first melt 0.800 kg of 0C ice and then raise its temperature? c. Explain how your answer supports the contention that the ice is more effective.arrow_forwardThe Sun radiates energy at the rate of 3.801026W from its 5500C surface into dark empty space (a negligible fraction radiates onto Earth and the other planets). The effective temperature of deep space is 270C. (a) What is the increase in entropy in one day due to this heat transfer? (b) How much work is made unavailable?arrow_forward
- In 1801, Humphry Davy rubbed together pieces of ice inside an icehouse. He made sure that nothing in the environment was at a higher temperature than the rubbed pieces. He observed the production of drops of liquid water. Make a table listing this and other experiments or processes to illustrate each of the following situations, (a) A system can absorb energy by heat, increase in internal energy, and increase in temperature, (b) A system can absorb energy by heat and increase in internal energy without an increase in temperature, (c) A system can absorb energy by heat without increasing in temperature or in internal energy, (d) A system can increase in internal energy and in temperature without absorbing energy by heat, (e) A system can increase in internal energy without absorbing energy by heat or increasing in temperature.arrow_forwardA 4ton air conditioner removes 5.60107J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What energy input in joules is necessary to do this if the air conditioner has an energy efficiency rating (EER) of 12.0? (b) What is the cost of doing this if the work costs 10.0 cents per 3.60106J (one kilowatt—hour)? (c) Discuss whether this cost seems realistic. Note that the energy efficiency rating (EER) of an air conditioner or refrigerator is defined to be the number of British thermal units of heat transfer from a cold environment per hour divided by the watts of power input.arrow_forward(a) A shirtless rider under a circus tent feels the heat radiating from the sunlit portion of the tent. Calculate the temperature of the tent canvas based on the following information: The shirtless rider’s skin temperature is 34.0C and has an emissivity of 0.970. The exposed area of skin is 0.400m2. He receives radiation at the rate of 20.0 W—half what you would calculate if the entire region behind him was hot. The rest of the surroundings are at 34.0C. (b) Discuss how this situation would change if the sun lit side of the tent was nearly pure white and if the rider was covered by a white tunic.arrow_forward
- Construct Your Own Problem Consider a new model of commercial airplane having its brakes tested as a part of the initial flight permission procedure. The airplane is brought to takeoff speed and then stopped with the brakes alone. Construct a problem in which you calculate the temperature increase of the brakes during this process. You may assume most of the kinetic energy of the airplane is converted to thermal energy in the brakes and surrounding materials, and that little escapes. Note that the brakes are expected to become so hot in this procedure that they ignite and, in order to pass the test, the airplane must be able to withstand the fire for some time without a general conflagration.arrow_forward(a) A firewalker runs across a bed of hot coals without sustaining burns. Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0cm2, the temperature of the coals is 700C, and the time in contact is 1.00 s. (b) What temperature increase is produced in the 25.0cm3 of tissue affected?
