On a cold day, you grab a piece of metal and a fallen tree limb, both with bare hands. Both have been lying outside for a long time and are at the same temperature. The metal feels colder than the tree limb. Why?
Alligators and other reptiles don’t use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night and must warm up in the sun in the morning. Suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning bodytemperature of 25°C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W. How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30°C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is the same as that of the mammalian body.)
A long steel I-beam used in bridge construction has a length of 15.0 m. The bear may be exposed to temperatures as low as -16°C in the winter and as high as 31°C in the summer. What is the difference in length of the beam between these two temperature extremes?
