Bob heats up a bottle of milk for his baby, Jill, every morning. Jill will only drink the bottle if it is at 98 degrees. So Bob places the bottle in a cup of hot water (170 degrees). The bottle starts off at 35 degrees. After 2 minutes the bottle is 80 degrees. Use Newton's heating-cooling law, that the rate of change in the temperature, H, is proportional to the difference between the object and the surrounding temperature, to determine how long Bob should leave the bottle in the hot water. Assume that the water stays at 170 degrees.
After sitting on a shelf for a while, a can of soda at a room temperature (73∘73∘F) is placed inside a refrigerator and slowly cools. The temperature of the refrigerator is 37∘37∘F. Newton's Law of Cooling explains that the temperature of the can of soda will decrease proportionally to the difference between the temperature of the can of soda and the temperature of the refrigerator, as given by the formula below: �=��+(�0−��)�−��T=Ta+(T0−Ta)e−kt ��=Ta= the temperature surrounding the object�0=T0= the initial temperature of the object�=t= the time in minutes�=T= the temperature of the object after �t minutes�=k= decay constant The can of soda reaches the temperature of 53∘53∘F after 30 minutes. Using this information, find the value of �k, to the nearest thousandth. Use the resulting equation to determine the Fahrenheit temperature of the can of soda, to the nearest degree, after 60 minutes. Enter only the final temperature into the input box.
The Stefan-Boltzmann Law says that the light radiated from a perfect radiator ("blackbody") is proportional to the temperature raised to the fourth power: where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constrant (σ = 5.67 x 10-8 in MKS units) In equilibrium, F coming in equals F going out. At Mars' distance from the Sun, F coming in is 153 in MKS units. What is the blackbody temperature for Mars at a distance of 1.524 AU from the Sun?
On food labels, we can read the food-calories of the product. The food calorie is written as "Cal" and it corresponds to 1.000 calories with the lower case 'c! In summary, one food-calorie - 1 kcal = 1 Cal = 4.186 Joules How many Joules will be released by combustion of 1 kg of rice, if rice has 3,200 food-calories per kilogram? O 1.3 J O 13,395,200J O 13J O 1,340 J
A circular 1.5 kg aluminum plate with a radius of .153 m and a thickness of 0.75 cm is in contact with a heating element. How long does it take the plate temperature to rise from 190 C to 630 C? (thermal conductivity = 200)
The next four questions use this description. Our Sun has a peak emission wavelength of about 500 nm and a radius of about 700,000 km. Your dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of about 7 mm and can detect light intensity down to about 1.5 x 10-11 W/m². Assume the emissivity of the Sun is equal to 1. First, given these numbers, what is the surface temperature of the Sun in Kelvin to 3 significant digits? 5,796
A mass of liquid at 30 °c is mixed with a mass of same liquid as 70°c and the temperature of the mixture is 45°c .Find the ratio of the mass of cold liquid to mass of hot liquid to be mixed.
The escape velocity of any object from Earth is 11.2 km/s. (a) Express this speed in m/s and km/h. Speed, m/s: 11200 Speed, km/h: 40320 (b) At what temperature would oxygen molecules (molecular mass is equal to 32 g/mol) have an average velocity, v, 'ms' equal to Earth's escape velocity 11.2 km/s? Temperature: 1,89 ×108 K No, that's only partially correct
You heat up a piece of hot metal with an emissivity of 0.1 until it glows. If the temperature of the metal is 3000 K, and the surface area of the metal is 0.1 meters squared, how much heat energy per second is transferred by radiation from the metal? 0.000001701 Joules per second (or Watts) 30 Joules per second (or Watts) 459270 Joules per second (or Watts) 45927 Joules per second (or Watts) 810000000000 Joules per second (or Watts)
the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?
The recommended daily caloric intake is 2000 calories (8,400,000J). This is because this is the same value for how much the average body loses to heat and work in a typical day (your change in energy is zero because you take in the same amount of energy you lose). A) If you lose a total of 8,400,000J (Qout+W=total lost), but consume 1200 calories of food (5,000,000J), what would your change in energy be? B) Assuming your change in energy is negative (hint-it should be), where does your body get the extra energy to maintain it's temperature?
We turn on a heater that delivers 150 watts (150 J/s) to 1.9 kg of water in a lab experiment. After 33 seconds, how much will the water temperature have increased? Give your answer in degrees Celsius. Hint: The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg °C.
