Chapter 20, Problem 20.3CQ
To determine

The wrong fact in the statement that a body with higher temperature contains more heat than the body at low temperature.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Heat always flows from a high-temperature body in contact with one with a low temperature. Does heat always flow from a body with more internal energy to one with less internal energy? (Hint: Think about dropping a hot BB into a tub of water.)
A 220-lb athlete drinks a glass of soda (125 calories) and walks up to the top of a Library Building. What is the change in his internal energy, assuming the only heat transfer is the 125 calories from the soda drink, and the only work done by the athlete is lifting his own weight to the 6th floor? Assume 3m per floor.
The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?
