I have a question :) By adding 25 kJ to solid material A, 4.0 kg will melt. By adding 50 kJ to solid material B, 6.0 kg will melt. Solid material C requires 30 kJ to melt 3.0 kg. Which of these materials, if any, has the largest value for the heat of fusion? (A) A, (B) B, (C) C, (D) A=B, (E) None of the above. My answer is below, is it correct? (C) Carrow_forwardWhen energy shortages occur, magazine articles sometimes urge us to keep our homes at a constant temperature day and night to conserve fuel. They argue that when we turn down the heat at night, the walls, ceilings, and other areas cool off and must be reheated in the morning. So if we keep the temperature constant, these parts of the house will not cool off and will not have to be reheated. Does this argument make sense? Would we really save energy by following this advice?arrow_forward
- An average car consumes about 5 L of gasoline a day, and the capacity of the fuel tank of a car is about 50 L. Therefore, a car needs to be refueled once every 10 days. Also, the density of gasoline ranges from 0.68 to 0.78 kg/L, and its lower heating value is about 44,000 kJ/kg (i.e., 44,000 kJ of heat is released when 1 kg of gasoline is completely burned). Suppose all the problems associated with the radioactivity and waste disposal of nuclear fuels are resolved, and a car is to be powered by U-235. If a new car comes equipped with 0.1-kg of the nuclear fuel U-235, determine if this car will ever need refueling under average driving conditionsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is an example of heat transfer by radiation? When you walk on your tiled, kitchen floor, your feet feel cold. Someone warming their hands next to a fire. Touching a cold window with your warm hands. Someone warming their hands above a fire. Heat transfer through hot fluids rising and cold fluids sinking in a pot of boiling water.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
- On a bright summer day, the temperature of an 81,978 L pool increases by 1 Celsius.

- The Curiosity rover landed on Mars on August 6, 2012, and is currently exploring the surface. Curiosity uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) to provide power for all operations. The Curiosity RTG has a maximum output of 110 watts [W], and loses 2000 watts [W] as heat. By comparison, Viking 1 spacecraft launched in 1975. The Viking 1 has an input power of 0.75 horsepower [hp] and loses 525 watts [W] to heat. Which device is more efficient?arrow_forwardSuppose you have 2.5kg of steam at 100 degrees celcius occupying 6.5 meters cubed at a pressure of 1.013 x 10^5 Pa. When the steam condenses to water at 100 degrees celcius it occupies a volume of 0.55 meters cubed. If the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 x 10^6 J/kg, what was the change in the water's internal energy?arrow_forwardThe average temperature of the atmosphere has increased by 0.4°C over the last thirty years. Estimate how much energy has gone into warming up the planet in this way. Keep in mind that the atmosphere has a mass of 5 × 1018kg, and the specific heat capacity of air is about 1 Jg−1K−1.arrow_forward
