A hot object is dropped into a thermally insulated container of water, and the object and water are then allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. The experiment is repeated twice, with different hot objects. All three objects have the same mass and initial temperature, and the mass and initial temperature of the water are the same in the three experiments. For each of the experiments. Fig. 18-29 gives graphs of the temperatures T of the object and the water versus time t. Rank the graphs according to the specific heats of the objects, greatest first.

- A rock of mass 0.432 kg falls from rest from a height of 17.4 m into a pail containing 0.373 kg of water. The rock and water have the same initial temperature. The specific heat capacity of the rock is 1870 J/(kg -C°). Ignore the heat absorbed by the pail itself, and determine the rise in temperature of the rock and water in Celsius degrees. Number Unitsarrow_forwardA beaker of negligible heat capacity contains 456 g of ice at -25.0°C. A lab technician begins to supply heat to the container at the rate of 1000 J/min. How long after starting will the ice begin to melt, assuming all of the ice has the same temperature? The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg ∙ K and the latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5 × 104 J/kg.

- Thermography is a technique for measuring radiant heat and detecting variations in surface temperatures that may be medically, environmentally, or militarily meaningful.(a) What is the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a given area at a temperature of 34.0C compared with that at 33.0C, such as on a person’s skin? (b) What is the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a given area at a temperature of 34.0C compared with that at 20.0C, such as for warm and cool automobile hoods?arrow_forwardA copper bar is welded end to end to a bar of an unknown metal. The two bars have the same lengths and cross-sectional areas. The free end of the copper bar is maintained at a temperature TH that can be varied. The free end of the unknown metal is kept at 0.0∘C. To measure the thermal conductivity of the unknown metal, you measure the temperature T at the junction between the two bars for several values of TH. You plot your data as T versus TH both in kelvins, and find that your data are well fit by a straight line that has slope 0.460. What do your measurements give for the value of the thermal conductivity of the unknown metal? Use kCu = 385 W/(m⋅K) .arrow_forwardTwo cylindrical rods have the same mass. One is made of silver (density = 10 500 kg/m³), and one is made of iron (density = 7860 kg/m³). Both rods conduct the same amount of heat per second when the same temperature difference is maintained across their ends. What is the ratio (silver-to-iron) of (a) the lengths and (b) the radii of these rods? Give your answers as numbers with no units. (a) Number i (b) Number Units Unitsarrow_forward
