You can buy an expensive frying pan that is made of copper but has a handle made of stainless steel. Why are different metals used for the part of the pan that touches the stove and for the part that touches your hand?
An extension cord that you would use for a lamp is much thinner than an extension cord recommended for use with large appliances. If you plugged in a refrigerator using a lamp extension cord, the plastic coating of the cord could melt and perhaps start a fire. Why does this occur? How can this hazard be prevented?
The figure below shows a section of hot-water pipe consisting of three parts: a straight, horizontal piece h = 28.0 cm long, a straight vertical piece ℓ = 110 cm long, and an elbow joint that allows the two pipe sections to meet at a right angle.
An illustration shows the inside of a wall where an L-shaped water pipe goes through it. The vertical part from the top of the wall to the elbow is labeled ℓ. The horizontal part from the elbow to the beam in the wall is labeled h.
A stud and a second-story floorboard hold the ends of this section of pipe stationary. The pipe is made of a copper alloy with a coefficient of linear expansion of 1.7 ✕ 10−5(°C−1). When the water flow is turned on, the temperature of the pipe rises from 18.0°C to 42.5°C. What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the pipe elbow from its original location once the pipe reaches the higher temperature? (Give the magnitude in mm and the direction in degrees below the +x-axis, which is parallel to the…

- Consider the piston cylinder apparatus shown in Figure P20.81. The bottom of the cylinder contains 2.00 kg of water at just under 100.0c. The cylinder has a radius of r = 7.50 cm. The piston of mass m = 3.00 kg sits on the surface of the water. An electric heater in the cylinder base transfers energy into the water at a rate of 100 W. Assume the cylinder is much taller than shown in the figure, so we dont need to be concerned about the piston reaching the top of the cylinder. (a) Once the water begins boiling, how fast is the piston rising? Model the steam as an ideal gas. (b) After the water has completely turned to steam and the heater continues to transfer energy to the steam at the same rate, how fast is the piston rising?arrow_forwardA common material for cushioning objects in packages is made by trapping bubbles of air between sheets of plastic.

- Review. To measure how far below the ocean surface a bird dives to catch a fish, a scientist uses a method originated by Lord Kelvin. He dusts the interiors of plastic tubes with powdered sugar and then seals one end of each tube. He captures the bird at nighttime in its nest and attaches a tube to its back. He then catches the same bird the next night and removes the tube. In one trial, using a tube 6.50 cm long, water washes away the sugar over a distance of 2.70cm from the open end of the tube. Find the greatest depth to which the bird dived, assuming the air in the tube stayed at constant temperature.arrow_forwardCan the outlet temperature of the cold fluid in a heat exchanger be higher than the outlet temperature of the hot fluid in a parallel-flow heat exchanger?
