Temperature and Heat
The topic that I chose to discuss for this week’s real-world
discussion is thermal expansion. This topic is relative in our everyday lives
both professionally and personally. They three key applications for this
topic are the materials of an aircraft expanding due to the friction created
by the air, coolant overflow tanks in cars, and even frozen pipes that
burst.
Thermal expansion is the process of substances such as solids, liquids,
and gasses to expand or contract when heated or cooled. Depending on
temperature, the expansion or contraction of an object is much larger yet
still unnoticeable to the human eye. To further understand this concept,
the explanation for these objects to expand or contract is “because the
atoms and molecules vibrate through a larger distance and push each
other apart” (Ostkiek & Bord, 2018, p. 172). Within this topic there is two
sub-topics. These topics include linear thermal expansion and volume
thermal expansion. The equation to find the linear expansion of an object
is: where is the original length (m), is the change in temperature (C), and
is the coefficient of solids (x 10^-6/C). For volume thermal expansion, the
following equation is used to determine the expansion: where is the
change in volume, is the initial volume (m^3), is the coefficient of volume
expansion (10^-6/K) and is the change in temperature (C).
There are several impacts that thermal expansion has on our everyday life
and aviation. To begin, the materials used in creating aircraft is not
susceptible to thermal heat from the friction caused by the air. Typically,
an aircraft will expand between 15-25 centimeters during a flight due to
the air friction (The Physics Hypertextbook, n.d.). We also experience
thermal expansion in the coolant overflow tanks within our cars. When the
engine becomes too hot the coolant expansion tank absorbs the heat and
minimizes the pressure in the engine. Finally, we also experience busted
pipes in the winter.
Thermal expansion is a very important and relevant topic to discuss and
understand. To begin, engineers must take this concept into consideration
when building a bridge or even a building. If the calculation is done
incorrectly and the materials used to create the structure expand or
2
contract could cause a unstable infrastructure and could
collapse.

PLEASE SOLVE THE FOLLOWING THREE QUESTIONS
Question G: Generally speaking, (no numbers required), at what point does Newton's Model of Cooling (T=A+Be^kx) (when regarding dead bodies' temperatures) no longer work? What in reality gives us an indication that we’ve taken it too far?
Question H: Assuming that the temperature of the person at the time of death (TOD) was 98.6 °F, set up a TOD equation using the values of ,A, ,B, and k you’ve calculated. Then, solve the equation using the same logarithm method you used to solve for .k.
A: 68 Farehneits, B: 17.9 Fareinheit
K: -0.002564
TOD: 98.6 Fareinheit
Plug the above info into Newton's law of cooling: (T=A+Be^kx)
Write your answer as a time, not just as x minutes. Recall that when ,x=0, the time is 2:00 PM.

The weight of a star is usually balanced by two forces: the gravitational force, acting inward, and the force created by nuclear reaction, acting outward.
Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the gravitational collapse of the star and crushing atoms out of
existence. Under such extreme conditions, protons and electrons are squeezed to form neutrons, giving birth to a neutron star. Neutron stars are massively
heavy - a teaspoon of the substance of a neutron star would weigh 100 million metric tons on the Earth.
a) Consider a neutron star whose mass is twice the mass of the Sun and whose radius is 13.3 km. (The mass of the Sun is 1.99-1030 kg.) If it rotates with
a period of 2.57 s, what is the speed of a point on the Equator of this star?

Consider that the tropical ocean is exposed to direct sunlight for many hours every day. If the top
1cm of an area of water 10,000,000 cm by 10,000,000 cm warms from 25 to 27 degrees, how much
heat energy, in Joules, has the water absorbed? (Every cm' of water has one gram of mass.)
Remember the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C

1-101 Balloons are often filled with helium gas because
it weighs only about one-seventh of what air weighs under
identical conditions. The buoyancy force, which can be
expressed as F, = Pains Voallonr will push the balloon upward.
If the balloon has a diameter of 12 m and carries two people,
85 kg each, determine the acceleration of the balloon when it is
first released. Assume the density of air is p = 1.16 kg/m², and
neglect the weight of the ropes and the cage. Answer: 22.4 m/s?

Question #5 (Similar to Question #4, You solved, I have attached the question #4)Design a question to calculate the heating load for the building you selected indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) assessment. You will define the types of heat loss (at least two types) in that building (or the floor you are working on or you are familiar with). The indoor temperature is set as 75 F, and you can assume the outdoor temperature based on the location of your building in the winter and any other numbers needed to resolve this question. For all the details as well as the final answer that this question is asking for, clearly indicate the unit for each piece of information.

During lab, Table Group 9 accidentally launches their spring from
the tabletop onto the light fixture shown in the diagram. The spring has a mass of
12 grams. The instructor gave clear instructions not to stretch the spring by more
than 70 cm to protect it from damage. If this spring's stiffness is k= 15 N/m, did
the group follow instructions or did they stretch the spring too far?
