Global warming will result in sea level rise. Assume that
i) 2/3 or the earth's surface is oceans with average depth of the oceans is 3000m
ii) that sea level rise will not result in the increase in the surface area of the oceans
iii) that all of the oceans' water is at a the same temperature of 20°C and has (volume) coefficient of thermal expansion of ß = 2 x 10-4 K-¹.
How much will the sea level rise for a 3°C rise in the average water temperature? (You should neglects the effects from the ice caps melting
due to this temperature rises.)
Radiation is emitted(a) only by glowing objects such as the Sun.(b) only by objects whose temperature is greater than thetemperature of the surroundings.(c) only by objects with more caloric than their surroundings.(d) by any object not at 0 K.(e) only by objects that have a large specific heat.

- Bermuda is about as far north of the equator as North Carolina, but, unlike North Carolina, it has a subtropical climate year-round. Why is this so?arrow_forwardhave a bucket of icewater with 100 grams of ice and 900 grams of liquid water all at zero degrees Celcius. I throw a hot chunk of iron into it (after which no heat enters or escapes the system), and the final temperature is 100 degrees Celcius with the ice having melted and some of the water actually boiling. The mass of the iron is 316 grams, and its initial temperature is 9,509 degrees Celcius. How many grams of water actually boil? (Don't write the unit, just the number.) You'll need these numbers: Specific heat of water: 4.2 J/g/deg Specific heat of iron: 0.46 J/g/deg Heat of fusion of water: 340 J/g Heat of Vaporization of water: 2300 J/garrow_forwardThe temperature of the sand in the land increases more quickly than that of the water in the sea.

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_forwardWhen night falls, the temperature of the earth’s surface starts to drop.
