Chapter 19, Problem 19.7OQ
What would happen if the glass of a thermometer expanded more on warming than did the liquid in the tube? (a) The thermometer would break, (b) It could be used only for temperatures below room temperature. (c) You would have to hold it with the bulb on top. (d) The scale on the thermometer is reversed so that higher temperature values would be found closer to the bulb, (e) The numbers would not be evenly spaced.

If the atmosphere is isotropic (the same temperature) at 293 K, how high will a balloon rise if, at the ground, its temperature is 294 K? Like the balloon in class, the balloon, itself, is massless (though the air inside is not), and has no resistance to expansion.
When an air bubble rises from the bottom to the top of a freshwater lake, its volume increases by 80% . If the temperatures at the bottom and the top of the lake are 4.0 and 10 °C , respectively, how deep is the lake?
The outer diameter of a glass jar and the inner diameter of its iron lid are both 760 mmmm at room temperature (20.0 ∘C).
What will be the size of the mismatch between the lid and the jar if the lid is briefly held under hot water until its temperature rises to 62.5 ∘C, without changing the temperature of the glass? Use the coefficient of linear expansion for iron α= 1.2×10^−5 K^−1.
Express answer in millimeters.

- If you place 0 ice into 0 water in an insulated container, what will the net result be? Will there be less ice and more liquid water, or more ice and less liquid water, or will the amounts stay the same?arrow_forwardOne easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.arrow_forwardIn an winter month the weather channel reported that the current temp at the Galen of Fairbanks in alaska is 5 degrees F while at the same time the temp in Mexico City was 5 degrees C what is the difference in temperature between the two cities in the unit of degree K??arrow_forward
