2) Your car's radiator is made of steel and is filled with water. You fill the radiator to very top with
water, then drive off without remembering to replace the cap. As the water and steel radiator
heats up, will the level of water drop or rise and overflow? Explain?
To answer this question, first you will have to investigate what a radiator is and what purpose is
it serves in a car?

You are thinking ahead to spring when one of your friends is having an outdoor wedding. Your plan is to design the perfect lemonade for the event. The problem with lemonade is that you make it in room temperature and then add ice to cool it to a pleasant 10 oC. Usually, the ice melts diluting the lemonade too much. To help you solve this problem, you look up the specific heat capacity of water (1.0 cal/g oC), the specific heat capacity of ice (0.5 cal/g oC), and the latent heat of fusion of water (80 cal/g). You assume that the specific heat capacity of lemonade is the same as water. Since you will cool your lemonade in a Thermos jug, assume no heat is added to the lemonade from the environment. Using that information, you calculate how much water you get from all the ice melting if you make 6 quarts (5.6 kg) of lemonade at room temperature (23 oC) and add ice which comes straight from the freezer at -5.0 oC.
The loss of body heat via convection is described by which statement?
The body gives off waves of heat from uncovered surfaces.
An oscillating fan blows currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body.
Body fluid in the form of perspiration is vaporized from the skin.
The body transfers heat to an ice pack, causing the ice to melt.
