The Sahara desert with a very arid climate is one of the hottest regions in the world. Its average temperature is above 30°C or 86°F. In a 24-hour period, the temperature can go from a day-time high of 93°F to a low of 29°F at night. (a) By how many Celsius degrees does the temperature fall in the 24- hour period? 32.21 x °C (b) By how many Kelvin degrees does the temperature fall in the 24- hour period? 32.21 x K

Raquel stayed at McDonald's and ordered a cup of hot coffee. When the coffee was served at around 7:00AM, its temperature is 75 degree celsius. The temperature inside is maintained at 18 degree celsius. At around 7:15 AM, the temperature of the coffee dropped by 15 degrees. What is the temperature of the coffee at exactly 7:25 AM? If Raquel wants to drink the coffee when its temperature is 45 degree celsius, at what time will this happen?
If you lie on the ground at night with no cover, you get cold rather quickly. Much of this is due to energy loss by radiation. At night in a dry climate, the temperature of the sky can drop to -40◦F. If you are lying on the ground with thin clothing that provides little insulation, the surface temperature of your skin and clothes will be about 86 ◦F. Estimate the net rate at which your body loses energy by radiation to the night sky under these conditions.
(a) Suppose a meter stick made of steel and one made of invar are the same length at 0°C. What is their difference in length at 42.5°C? The coefficient of thermal expansion is 12 x 10-6/°C for steel and 0.9 x 10-6/°C for invar. mm (b) Repeat the calculation for two 16.0-m-long surveyor's tapes. mm
When resting, a person has a metabolic rate of about 3.88 x 105 joules per hour. The person is submerged neck-deep into a tub containing 4.62 x 103 kg of water at 26.9 °C. If the heat from the person goes only into the water, find the water temperature in degrees Celsius after half an hour.

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when the temperature is 38.0°C. What will its height be in meters on a day when the temperature falls to -21.5°C? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its thermal coefficient of expansion is the same as marble's, which is 2.5 x 10-6/°C. (Assume the temperature of the entire monument changes from 38.0°C to -21.5°C. Enter your answer to at least five significant figures.)

In everyday experience, the measures of temperature most often used are Fahrenheit F and Celsius C. Recall that the relationship between them is given by the following formula. F = 1.8C + 32 Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. You can get kelvins K from degrees Celsius by using the following formula. K = C + 273.15 (a) Calculate that value.K(25) = (b) Find a formula expressing the temperature C in degrees Celsius as a function of the temperature K in kelvins.
