Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 48PCE
Predict/Explain In a popular lecture demonstration, a sheet of paper is wrapped around a rod that is made from wood on one half and metal on the other half. If held over a flame, the paper on one half of the rod is burned while the paper on the other half is unaffected. (a) Is the burned paper on the wooden half of the rod, or on the metal half of the rod? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
- I. The metal will be hotter to the touch than the wood; therefore the metal side will be burnt.
- II. The metal
conducts heat better than the wood, and hence the paper on the metal half is unaffected. - III. The metal has the smaller specific heat; hence it heats up more and burns the paper on its half of the rod.

Rub the palm of your hand on a metal surface for 30 to 45 seconds. Place the palm of your other hand on an unrubbed portion of the surface and then on the rubbed portion. The rubbed portion will feel warmer. Now repeat this process on a wooden surface. Why does the temperature difference between the rubbed and unrubbed portions of the wood surface seem larger than for the metal surface?
Imagine two cooking pots of the same dimensions, each containing a different amount of water at the same initial temperature, 100⁰C. The bottom of the first pot is made of steel, while the bottom of the second pot is made of aluminum. Both pots are placed on a hot surface having a temperature of 180 ⁰C. The water in the steel-bottomed pot boils away completely in 450 s. a) Roughly how much water boiled away from the steel pot, if the bottom has a surface a of 0.031 m2, and a thickness of 3 mm?b) How long would it take to boil away the same amount of water from the aluminum pot?

Inspired by this idea, he decides to investigate how a thin layer of fat on the top of a hot liquid affects the cooling of the liquid. He performs two different experiments.Experiment 1: Hector pours 100 mlml of boiling water into each of two Styrofoam cups and adds a thin (2.0-mmmm) layer of hot oil (at about 100∘C∘C ) to one of the cups. He measures the initial temperature in the cups, waits for 10 minutes, and then measures the temperature again. His measurements are shown below.

Your steel bar has been heated to 200°C and will be allowed to cool from 200°C in such a way that the ODE describes its temperature. The coefficient 'a' describes how quickly heat is dissipated, and is affected by things like insulation or airflow around the bar. You wish to determine the value of 'a' required to allow the bar to cool down to below 30°C within 4 minutes, to the nearest two decimal places. Use a for loop to test all values of the 'a' coefficient between 0 and -1. Use an appropriately high resolution to ensure that your answer converges with the true answer. Answer:arrow_forward
