When a ball of mass m is dropped through a height dif- ference Ah, its potential energy changes by the amount mg Ah, where g is the acceleration of gravity, equal to 9.81 m s-2. Suppose that when the ball hits the ground, all that energy is converted to heat, increasing the tem- perature of the ball. If the specific heat capacity of the material in the ball is 0.850 J K-1g¯!, calculate the height from which the ball must be dropped to increase the tem- perature of the ball by 1.00°C.

In this problem you will estimate the heat lost by a typical house, assuming that the temperature inside is Tin = 20°C and the temperature outside is Tout = 0°C. The walls and uppermost ceiling of a typical house are supported by 2 x 6-inch wooden beams (kwood = 0.12 W/(mK)) with fiberglass insulation (kins = 0.04 W/(mK)) in between. The true depth of the beams is actually 5.625 %3D %3D %3D inches, but we will take the thickness of the walls and ceiling to be Lwall = 18 cm to allow for the interior and exterior covering. Assume that the house is a cube of length L = 9.0 m on a side. Assume that the roof has very high conductivity, so that the air in the attic is at the same temperature as the outside air. Ignore heat loss through the ground. The effective thermal conductivity of the wall (or ceiling) keff , is the area-weighted average of the thermal conductivities of the wooden beams and the fiberglass insulation that make up each of them. Allowing for the fact that the 2 x 6 beams…
