Concept explainers

The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.

Molar Specific Heat

Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)

Thermal Properties of Matter

Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Chapter 5, Problem 4SA

An older type of thermostat used in furnace and heat pump control is shown in ● Fig. 5.21. The glass vial tilts back and forth so that electrical contacts are made via the mercury (an electrically conducting liquid metal), and the furnace or heat pump is turned off and on. Explain why the vial tilts back and forth. (Newer thermostats are electronic.)

The de-excitation of a state occurs by competing emission and relaxation processes. If the relaxation mechanisms are very effective:a) the emission of radiation is largeb) the emission of radiation is smallc) the emission occurs at a shorter wavelengthd) the de-excitation occurs only by emission processes

m C A block of mass m slides down a ramp of height hand collides with an identical block that is initially at rest. The two blocks stick together and travel around a loop of radius R without losing contact with the track. Point A is at the top of the loop, point B is at the end of a horizon- tal diameter, and point C is at the bottom of the loop, as shown in the figure above. Assume that friction between the track and blocks is negligible. (a) The dots below represent the two connected blocks at points A, B, and C. Draw free-body dia- grams showing and labeling the forces (not com ponents) exerted on the blocks at each position. Draw the relative lengths of all vectors to reflect the relative magnitude of the forces. Point A Point B Point C (b) For each of the following, derive an expression in terms of m, h, R, and fundamental constants. i. The speed of moving block at the bottom of the ramp, just before it contacts the stationary block ii. The speed of the two blocks immediately…

Velocity (m/s) 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 5.0 10 15 20 25 Time (s) (a) Briefly describe the motion of the elevator. Justify your description with reference to the graph. (b) Assume the elevator starts from an initial position of y = 0 at t=0. Deriving any numerical values you need from the graph: i. Write an equation for the position as a function of time for the elevator from t=0 to t = 3.0 seconds. ii. Write an equation for the position as a function of time for the elevator from t = 3.0 seconds to t = 19 seconds. (c) A student of weight mg gets on the elevator and rides the elevator during the time interval shown in the graph. Consider the force of con- tact, F, between the floor and the student. How Justify your answer with reference to the graph does F compare to mg at the following times? and your equations above. i. = 1.0 s ii. = 10.0 s
