Concept explainers

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14.4, Problem 25P

The cooling system of a truck engine contains 20.0 L of water. (1 L of water has a mass of 1 kg. ) (a) If the engine is run until 845 kJ of heat is added, what is the change in temperature of the water? (b) In the winter, the system was filled with 20.0 L of ethyl alcohol with density 0.800 g/cm³. If the ethyl alcohol absorbed the same 845 kJ of heat, what would be the increase in temperature of the alcohol? (c) Would ethyl alcohol or water be a better coolant? Why?

Required information In a standard tensile test, a steel rod of 1 3 -in. diameter is subjected to a tension force of P = 21 kips. It is given that v= 0.30 and E= 29 × 106 psi. 1-in. diameter P P -8 in. Determine the change in diameter of the rod. (Round the final answer to six decimal places.) The change in diameter of the rod is - in.

5.84 ... If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uni- form, massive rope is μs, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding? 5.97 Block A, with weight Figure P5.97 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A. (b) If the coefficient of kinetic friction is the same between A and B and between S and A, determine its value. B 36.9°

5.60 An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope (Fig. P5.60). The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 2.50 X 104 N, and our hero's mass is 90.0 kg. (a) If the angle is 10.0°, what is the tension in the rope? (b) What is the smallest value can have if the rope is not to break? Figure P5.60
