#6. My buddy is starting to get hypothermic (body temperature 306 K) during an epic backcountry ski adventure. Since I'm quite warm (body temperature 310 K), I decide to get in a sleeping bag with him to try and warm him up. What heat transfer mechanism will be most responsible for heating him up? For simplicity, ignore any internal temperature differences across my body (that is, assume my skin temperature is also 310 K). Use num- bers to support your answer (for human skin, you can use the following values: surface area A = 1.50 m², emissivity € = 0.970, thickness d = 0.0250 m, thermal conductivty 0.200 ms.K

Water bottle in a hot car. In the American Southwest, the temperature in a closed car parked in sunlight during the summer can be high enough to burn flesh. Suppose a bottle of water at a refrigerator temperature of 5.31°C is opened, then closed, and then left in a closed car with an internal temperature of 83.0°C. Neglecting the thermal expansion of the water and the bottle, find the pressure in the air pocket trapped in the bottle. (The pressure can be enough to push the bottle cap past the threads that are intended to keep the bottle closed.)
A 283 g silver figure of a polar bear is dropped into the 249 g aluminum cup of a well-insulated calorimeter containing 265 g of liquid water at 20.9°C. The bear's initial temperature is 98.5°C. What is the final temperature of the water, cup, and bear when they reach thermal equilibrium? The specific heats of silver, aluminum, and liquid water are, respectively, 234 J/ (kg-K), 910 J/ (kg-K), and 4190 J/ (kg-K). final temperature: °C
A block of iron (c=448.00 J/kj°C) initially at temperature 6.00°C is dropped into an insulated container filled with 15.71kg of water ( cwater=4186.00 J/kg°C) at 93.00°C. They come to equilibrium at a final temperature of 39.00°C. Determine the mass of the iron block. _____kg Determine the magnitude of thermal energy Q transferred between the two substances. ______kJ

A well-insulated aluminum calorimeter cup with mass of 231 g contains 271 g of liquid water at 25.1 °C. A 295-g silver figure of polar bear, with initial temperature of 96.5 °C, is dropped into the water. What is the final temperature of the water, cup, and bear when they reach thermal equilibrium? The specific heats of silver, aluminum, and liquid water are, respectively, 234 J/(kg · K), 910 J/(kg · K), and 4190 J/(kg · K). final temperature:
Equal masses of substance A at 98.1°C and substance B at 26.2°C are placed in a well-insulated container of negligible mass and allowed to come to equilibrium. If the equilibrium temperature is 77.4°C, which substance has the larger specific heat? a) substance A b) The answer depends on the exact initial temperatures. c) More information is required. d) The specific heats are identical.
Between 1793 and 1837, the U.S. penny was made entirely of copper and had a mass of 3.20 g. A coin collector accidentally drops one such penny from the balcony of his high-rise apartment, 36.0 m above the street. If 42.0% of the change in gravitational energy of the penny–Earth system is converted into internal energy of the penny, what is the increase in the temperature of the coin just before it impacts with the sidewalk? °C
it is important not to undercook chicken, otherwise you might get very sick. The inside of the chicken has to be at a certain temperature (75 C or 165 F) to make sure it is safe. Why can’t you just wait until the outside of the chicken is at this temperature? Why isn’t the entire chicken at the same temperature while it is being cooked?
