14.2 Temperature Change and Heat Capacity
Specific heat tying energy transferred to temperature rise, and calorimetry that finds the shared final temperature of objects in contact.
College Physics 2e, 14.2 Temperature Change and Heat Capacity
6 exercises
14.2 Exercise 1
If 25 kJ is necessary to raise the temperature of a block from to , how much heat is necessary to heat the block from to ?
14.2 Exercise 4
On a hot day, the temperature of an 80,000-L swimming pool increases by . What is the net heat transfer during this heating? Ignore any complications, such as loss of water by evaporation.
14.2 Exercise 6
To sterilize a 50.0-g glass baby bottle, we must raise its temperature from to . How much heat transfer is required?
14.2 Exercise 8
Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. If a woman rubs her hands back and forth for a total of 20 rubs, at a distance of 7.50 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 40.0 N, what is the temperature increase? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers.
14.2 Exercise 10
Suppose identical amounts of heat transfer into different masses of copper and water, causing identical changes in temperature. What is the ratio of the mass of copper to water?
14.2 Exercise 12
Following vigorous exercise, the body temperature of an 80.0-kg person is . At what rate in watts must the person transfer thermal energy to reduce the the body temperature to in 30.0 min, assuming the body continues to produce energy at the rate of 150 W? .
