Into the pocket of your down parka you put the change he gives you: coins constituting 9.00 g of copper at 12.0C. Your pocket already contains 14.0 g of silver coins at 30.0C. A short time later the temperature of the copper coins is 4.00C and is increasing at a rate of 0.500C/s. At this time, (a) what is the temperature of the silver coins and (b) at what rate is it changing?arrow_forwardHow many grams of coffee must evaporate from 350 g of coffee in a 100g glass cup to cool the coffee from 95.0C to 45.0C ? 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
- In the chapter on fluid mechanics, Bernoulli's equation for the flow of incompressible fluids was explained in terms of changes affecting a small volume dV of fluid. Such volumes are a fundamental idea in the study of the flow of compressible fluids such as gases as well. For the equations of hydrodynamics to apply, the mean free path must be much less than the linear size of such a volume, adV1/3 . For air in the stratosphere at a temperature of 220 K and a pressure of 5.8 kPa, how big should a be for it to be 100 times the mean free path? Take the effective radius of air molecules to be 1.881011 m, which is roughly correct for N2.arrow_forwardReview. A 670-kg meteoroid happens to be composed of aluminum.

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_forwardIndigenous people sometimes cook in watertight baskets by placing hot locks into water to bring it to a boil.

- A sample of gas with a thermometer immersed in the gas is held over a hot plate. A student is asked to give a step-by-step account of what makes our observation of the temperature of the gas increase. His response includes the following steps, (a) The molecules speed up. (b) Then the molecules collide with one another more often. (c) Internal friction makes the collisions inelastic, (d) Heat is produced in the collisions. (e) The molecules of the gas transfer more energy to the thermometer when they strike it, so we observe that the temperature has gone up. (f) The same process can take place without the use of a hot plate if you quickly push in the piston in an insulated cylinder containing the gas.
