An aluminum wire is wrapped in rubber insulation. Both are subject to thermal expansion, with the following coefficients of linear expansion: alphaa=24· 10−6 1/C and alphar=8· 10−5 1/C . If the wire and insulation are the same length of 1.85m at a temperature of20.00°C, what is the difference in length (in MILLIMETERS) between the copper wire and the rubber insulation when heated up to a temperature of 189.00°C? Express a magnitude only (no negatives!). ______mm (MILLIMETERS!)
We know from Newton's Law of Cooling that the rate at which an object warms up is proportional to the difference between the ambient temperature of the room and the temperature of the object. The differential equation corresponding to this situation is given by y' = k(M – y) where k is a positive constant. The solution to this equation is given by y = M + (yo – M)e-kt , where yo is the initial temperature of the object. Suppose your Thanksgiving turkey is kept at a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit until it is put into a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven. It takes 2 hours for the turkey to warm up to a safe eating temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the values of yo, M, and k, for this situation, rounding your answers to 3 decimal places. Yo= M = k= Regardless of your answers above, suppose the k value in this situation is k = 0.3. Find the initial rate of increase of the turkey's temperature as soon as it is placed in the oven. Round to 3 decimal places. degrees per hour.

A steel iron metal rod is joined end to end with a stainless steel rod. It is known that the two metals have the same radius, r = 0.57 cm, the length of steel iron is 5.36 m, and the length of stainless steel is 7.3 m. If the free end of steel iron is subjected to 246 °C while the free end of stainless steel is subjected to 18 °C, find the temperature at the junction. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Two students in a physics lab have to construct a constant-volume gas thermometer as part of their end of year project. They use liquid nitrogen (-196°C) and boiling pentane (36.1°C) to calibrate the thermometer. The corresponding values of pressure are 0.420 atm and 1.325 atm. The students plot a pressure versus temperature graph with pressure on the y-axis and temperature on the x-axis. (a) Determine the y intercept and slope of the linear graph that relates the pressure to the temperature. slope atm/°C y intercept atm b) What value of absolute zero do the students get from this calibration?°C(c) What pressure readings would this thermometer give for the freezing and boiling points of water? freezing point atm boiling point atm
