- 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 liquid with a coefficient of volume expansion just fills a spherical shell of volume V(Fig. P19.51). The shell and the open capillary of area A projecting from the top of the sphere are made of a material with an average coefficient of linear expansion . The liquid is free to expand into the capillary. Assuming the temperature increases by T find the distance h the liquid rises in the capillary.arrow_forwardA sample of gas with a thermometer immersed in the gas is held over a hot plate. A student is asked to give a step-by-step account of what makes our observation of the temperature of the gas increase. His response includes the following steps. (a) The molecules speed up. (b) Then the molecules collide with one another more often. (c) Internal friction makes the collisions inelastic. (d) Heat is produced in the collisions. (e) The molecules of the gas transfer more energy to the thermometer when they strike it, so we observe that the temperature has gone up. (f) The same process can take place without the use of a hot plate if you quickly push in the piston in an insulated cylinder containing the gas. (i) Which of the parts (a) through (f) of this account are correct statements necessary for a clear and complete explanation? (ii) Which are correct statements that are not necessary to account for the higher thermometer reading? (iii) Which are incorrect statements?arrow_forward
- A backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00 m is filled to depth 1.50 m. (a) Find the absolute pressure at the bottom of the pool. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150 kg enter the pool and float quietly there. No water overflows. Find the pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float.arrow_forwardA sample of a solid substance has a mass m and a density 0 at a temperature T0. (a) Find the density of the substance if its temperature is increased by an amount T in terms of the coefficient of volume expansion b. (b) What is the mass of the sample if the temperature is raised by an amount T?arrow_forwardTwo glass bulbs of volumes 500 cm3 and 200 cm3 are connected by a narrow tube of negligible volume. The apparatus is filled with air and sealed. The initial pressure of the air is 1.0 105 Pa, and the initial temperature is 17C. The smaller bulb is immersed in a large amount of ice at 0C, and the larger bulb is immersed in a large pot of boiling water at a temperature of 100C for a long period of time. Determine the final pressure of the air in the bulbs. Ignore any change in the volume of the glass. Model the air as an ideal gas.arrow_forward

Is this material more effective at keeping the contents of the package from moving around inside the package on (a) a hot day, (b) a cold day, or (c) either hot or cold days?arrow_forwardReview, (a) H it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can escape the Earths gravitation in the sense that it can continue to move away from the Earth forever as discussed in Section 13.6. Using the principle of conservation of energy, show that the minimum kinetic energy needed for escape is m0gRE where m0 is the mass of the molecule, g is the free-fall acceleration at the surface, and RE is the radius of the Earth, (b) Calculate the temperature for which the minimum escape kinetic energy is ten times the average kinetic energy of an oxygen molecule.arrow_forwardWater flows through a fire hose of diameter 6.35 cm at a rate of 0.0120 m3/s.

- What would happen if the glass of a thermometer expanded more on warming than did the liquid in the tube? (a) The thermometer would break. (b) It could be used only for temperatures below room temperature. (c) You would have to hold it with the bulb on top. (d) The scale on the thermometer is reversed so that higher temperature values would be found closer to the bulb. (e) The numbers would not be evenly spaced.arrow_forwardObject A is placed in thermal contact with a very large object B of unknown temperature. Objects A and B are allowed to reach thermal equilibrium; object Bs temperature does not change due to its comparative size. Object A is removed from thermal contact with B and placed in thermal contact with another object C at a temperature of 40C. Objects A and C are of comparable size. The temperature of C is observed to be unchanged. What is the temperature of object B?arrow_forwardA village maintains a large tank with an open top, containing water for emergencies. The water can drain from the tank through a hose of diameter 6.60 cm. The hose ends with a nozzle of diameter 2.20 cm. A rubber stopper is inserted into the nozzle. The water level in the tank is kept 7.50 m above the nozzle. (a) Calculate the friction force exerted on the stopper by the nozzle. (b) The stopper is removed. What mass of water flows from the nozzle in 2.00 h? (c) Calculate the gauge pressure of the flowing water in the hose just behind the nozzle.arrow_forward
