Water bottle in a hot car. In the American Southwest, the temperature in a closed car parked in sunlight during the summer can be high enough to burn flesh. Suppose a bottle of water at a refrigerator temperature of 5.00°C is opened, then closed, and then left in a closed car with an internal temperature of 75.0°C. Neglecting the thermal expansion of the water and the bottle, find the pressure in the air pocket trapped in the bottle. (The pressure can be enough to push the bottle cap past the threads that are intended to keep the bottle closed.)

If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?arrow_forwardDuring a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-m-high and 10-m-long wall of a house. If the air outside is at 5°C and the surface temperature of the wall is 12°C, determine the rate of heat loss from that wall by convection. What would your answer be if the wind velocity was doubled?arrow_forward
- A solid steel cube is stored in a freezer, where the temperature is -20.0 °C. While the cube is in the freezer, you measure its side length (L) to be 1.75050 meters. The cube is then placed outside for a long time, so that the temperature of the cube reaches the temperature of the air outside. As a result, the side length increases to 1.75170 meters due to thermal expansion. The coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 12.0×10-6 °C-1. (a) What is the temperature of the air outside? Give your answer in degrees Celsius ('C). (b) What is the volume of the cube when its temperature is 20.0 °C?
