- Consider the piston cylinder apparatus shown in Figure P20.81. The bottom of the cylinder contains 2.00 kg of water at just under 100.0c. The cylinder has a radius of r = 7.50 cm. The piston of mass m = 3.00 kg sits on the surface of the water. An electric heater in the cylinder base transfers energy into the water at a rate of 100 W. Assume the cylinder is much taller than shown in the figure, so we dont need to be concerned about the piston reaching the top of the cylinder. (a) Once the water begins boiling, how fast is the piston rising? Model the steam as an ideal gas. (b) After the water has completely turned to steam and the heater continues to transfer energy to the steam at the same rate, how fast is the piston rising?arrow_forwardWhat 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.arrow_forwardA liquid with a coefficient of volume expansion just fills a spherical shell of volume V (Fig. P16.53). The shell and the open capillary of area A projecting from the top of the sphere are made of a material with an average coefficient of linear expansion . The liquid is free to expand into the capillary. Assuming the temperature increases by T, find the distance h the liquid rises in the capillary.arrow_forward
- Object A is placed in thermal contact with a very large object B of unknown temperature. Objects A and B are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium; object Bs temperature does not change due to its comparative size. Object A is removed from thermal contact with B and placed in thermal contact with another object C at a temperature of 40C. Objects A and C are of comparable size. The temperature of C is observed to be unchanged. What is the temperature of object B?arrow_forwardA hole is drilled in a metal plate. When the metal is raised to a higher temperature, what happens to the diameter of the hole? (a) It decreases. (b) It increases. (c) It remains the same. (d) The answer depends on the initial temperature of the metal. (e) None of those answers is correct.arrow_forwardInside the wall of a house, an L-shaped section of hot-water pipe consists of three parts: a straight horizontal piece h = 28.0 cm long, an elbow, and a straight, vertical piece = 134 cm long (Fig. P10.51). A stud and a second- story floorboard hold the ends of this section of copper pipe stationary. Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow when the water flow is turned on, raising the temperature of the pipe from 18.0C to 46.5C. Figure P10.51arrow_forward

He dusts the interiors of plastic tubes with powdered sugar and then seals one end of each tube. He captures the bird at nighttime in its nest and attaches a tube to its back. He then catches the same bird the next night and removes the tube. In one trial, using a tube 6.50 cm long, water washes away the sugar over a distance of 2.70 cm from the open end of the tube. Find the greatest depth to which the bird dived, assuming the air in the tube stayed at constant temperature.arrow_forward
