Predict/Calculate A bicycle tire with a volume of 0.00212 m3 is filled to its recommended absolute pressure of 495 kPa on a cold winter day when the tire’s temperature is −15 °C. The cyclist then brings his bicycle into a hot laundry room at 32 °C. (a) If the tire warms up while its volume remains constant, will the pressure increase be greater than, less than, or equal to the manufacturer’s stated 10% overpressure limit? (b) Find the absolute pressure in the tire when it warms to 32 °C at constant volume.

- Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.arrow_forwardConsider a container of nitrogen gas molecules at 900 K.

(c) Whats the ratio if star A has both twice the radius and twice the absolute temperature of star B?arrow_forward
- The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0C. What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to 10.0C ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its thermal coefficient of expansion is the same as marble's.arrow_forwardReview. A 670-kg meteoroid happens to be composed of aluminum. When it is far from the Earth, its temperature is 15.0C and it moves at 14.0 km/s relative to the planet. As it crashes into the Earth, assume the internal energy transformed from the mechanical energy of the meteoroid-Earth system is shared equally between the meteoroid and the Earth and all the material of the meteoroid rises momentarily to the same final temperature. Find this temperature. Assume the specific heat of liquid and of gaseous aluminum is 1 170 J/kg C.arrow_forwardWhat is the atmospheric pressure on top of Mt.

- A 3.00-g copper coin at 25.0C drops 50.0 m to the ground. (a) Assuming 60.0% of the change in gravitational potential energy of the coin-Earth system goes into increasing the internal energy of the coin, determine the coins final temperature. (b) Does the result depend on the mass of the coin?

- 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 300 kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0 cm2 the temperature of the coals is 700 , and the time in contact is 1.00 s.

You may assume the coffee has the same thermal properties as water and that the average heat at vaporization is 2340kJ/kg(560cal/g). (You may neglect the change in mass of the coffee as it cools, which will give you an answer that is slightly larger than correct.)arrow_forward
