How would this affect our lives?arrow_forwardA book is held 6 feet above the floor and then dropped. Which statement is true? a.The potential energy of the book is converted to kinetic energy. b.The potential energy of the book is destroyed. c.Kinetic energy is created. d.The total energy of the system will not be conserved.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is the best example of potential energy changing to kinetic energy? a.Pushing a rock off a cliff. b.Sitting in a rocking chair. c.Observing a bird fly d.Standing on a tablearrow_forward9.71 In recent years, the notion of a “smart grid” has emerged. Do a web search and research the smart grid concept. How would the smart grid differ from the traditional grid?arrow_forwardCopper is used in building the integrated circuits, chips, and printed circuit boards for computers. When 228 J of heat are absorbed by 125 g of copper at 22.38C, the temperature rises to 27.12C. What is the specific heat of copper?arrow_forward
- 9.33 Copper wires used to transport electrical current heat up because of the resistance of the wire. If a 140-g wire gains 280 J of heat, what is the change in temperature in the wire? Copper has a specific heat of 0.384Jg1C1 .arrow_forwardWhich of the following processes is endothermic? a. ice melting b. a piece of paper burning c. a bomb exploding d. an organisms metabolism producing a certain amount of heatarrow_forwardA 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal. (a) What is the final temperature when the two become equal? Assume that coffee has the same specific heat as water. (b) The first time a student solved this problem she got an answer of 88 C. Explain why this is clearly an incorrect answer.arrow_forward
- A piece of iron was heated to 95.4C and dropped into a constant-pressure calorimeter containing 284 g of water at 32.2C. The final temperature of the water and iron was 51.9C. Assuming that the calorimeter itself absorbs a negligible amount of heat, what was the mass (in grams) of the piece of iron? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC), and the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(gC).arrow_forwardAn iron skillet weighing 1.63 kg is heated on a stove to 178C. Suppose the skillet is cooled to room temperature, 21C. How much heat energy (in joules) must be removed to affect this cooling? The specific heat of iron is 0.449 J/(gC).arrow_forwardThe flashlight in the photo does not use batteries. Instead, you move a lever, which turns a geared mechanism and finally results in light from the bulb. What type of energy is used to move the lever? What type or types of energy are produced?arrow_forward
