- (a) At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales have the same numerical value? (b) At what temperature do me Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales have the same numerical value?arrow_forward. On a winter day, the air temperature is — 15°C, and the humidity is 0,001 kg/m3. (a) What is the relative humidity? (b) When this air is brought inside a building, it is heated to 20°C. If the humidity isn't changed, what is the relative humidity inside the building?arrow_forwardConvert the following to equivalent temperatures on the Celsius and Kelvin scales: (a) the normal human body temperature, 98.6F; (b) the air temperature on a cold day, 5.00F.arrow_forward
- Unreasonable Results Suppose the relative humidity is 80% on a day when the temperature is 30.0C. (a) What will the relative humidity be if the air cools to 25.0C and the vapor density remains constant? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which premise is responsible?arrow_forwardA grandfather clock is controlled by a swinging brass pendulum that is 1.3 m long at a temperature of 20.0C. (a) What is the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0C? (b) If a pendulums period is given by T=2L/g, where L is its length, does the change in length of the rod cause the clock to run fast or slow?arrow_forwardUnreasonable Results (a) An automobile mechanic claims that an aluminum rod fits loosely into its hole on an aluminum engine block because the engine is hot and the rod is cold. If 1he hole is 10.0% bigger in diameter than the 22.0C rod, at what temperature will the rod be the same size as the hole? (b) What is unreasonable about this temperature? (2) Which premise is responsible?arrow_forward
- A glass windowpane in a home is 0.620 cm thick and has dimensions of 1.00 in 2.00 in. On a certain day, the temperature of the interior surface of the glass is 25.0C and the exterior surface temperature is 0C. (a) What is the rate at which energy is transferred by heat through the glass? (b) How much energy is transferred through the window in one day, assuming the temperatures on the surfaces remain constant?arrow_forwardA person inhales and exhales 2.00 L of 37.0C air, evaporating 4.00102g of water from the lungs and breathing passages with each breath. (a) How much heat transfer occurs due to evaporation in each breath? (b) What is the rate of heat transfer in watts if the person is breathing at a moderate rate of 18.0 breaths per minute? (c) If the inhaled air had a temperature of 20.0C, what is the rate of heat transfer for warming the air? (d) Discuss the total rate of heat transfer as it relates to typical metabolic rates. Will this breathing be a major form of heat transfer for this person?arrow_forward
