Question 2

Transcribed Image Text:1) If you want to thaw a piece of chicken or steak taken out of the freezer, do you place it on a metallic or plastic surface? Why?
2) A human body has a temperature of 98.6°F (37°C or 310 K) on average; if the outside temperature is 60°F (15.6 or 298 K) approximate the Carnot efficiency of the human body.
3) Without removing heat from a gas, can you lower its temperature? (hint: remember properties of matter gas laws)
4) Can you add heat to a substance without changing its temperature? Hint: can you change something else that is not temperature by adding heat?
5) To reduce global warming, we must reduce CO2 emissions; private transportation (cars) are a large percentage of global CO2 emissions. If you live in a rural area with few options for public transit, what options are available to reduce your CO2 emissions? List 2 and explain how they help.
