Two lightbulbs have cylindrical filaments much greater in length than in diameter. The evacuated bulbs are identical except that one operates at a filament temperature of 2 100°C and the other operates at 2 000°C. (a) Find the ratio of the power emitted by the hotter lightbulb to that emitted by the cooler lightbulb. (b) With the bulbs operating at the same respective temperatures, the cooler lightbulb is to be altered by making its filament thicker so that it emits the same power as the hotter one. By what factor should the radius of this filament be increased?

If the surface temperature of the sea is 20.0C, what is the volume of the bubble just before it breaks the surface?arrow_forwardAn aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)arrow_forwardIf you place 0 ice into 0 water in an insulated container, what will the net result be?

- Estimate the number of panels in an array required to supply hot water to a summer home if 100 gal of tap water per day are to be heated from 10 to 50°C. Assume that the average efficiency of the array is 60 percent and that the average daily insolation intercepted by the array is 5 kw-hr/m²-day. Each panel has an area of 1.5 m². Consider an array of nine panels arranged in three parallel strings. Each string has three panels in series. Water flows into the array at 0.03 kg/sec and divides equally into each string. The water enters the array at 10°C and leaves at 50°C. The first panel of each string raises the temperature by 20°C; the second, by 15°C; and the third, by 5°C. The area of each panel is 1.5 m² and the intercepted insolation is 800 W/m². (a) Find the efficiency of each panel of the array. (b) Find the rate at which heat is collected by the array. (c) Determine the overall efficiency of the array.arrow_forwardOne easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15.0 cm of fiberglass (glass wool) insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces (including the floor of the attic room). If you added an extra 7.8100000000000005 cm of fiberglass to the attic ceiling, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the room to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and give your answer to one decimal place. Assume the same temperature difference between inside and outside the attic room, and that heat is lost through all six sides of the room. Hint: The cost of heating will be related to the amount of heat that is transferred through the walls, the floor and the ceiling of the attic. If let's say the heat loss is 1000 W in total (walls+floor+ceiling) without insulation, and then 800W in total with insulation, we are…arrow_forwardSuppose that a Celsius thermometer was created with alcohol (instead of mercury) as the liquid. a) Would the alcohol and mercury thermometers read exactly the same at every temperature being measured?

- What is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors? (A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator. (B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity. (C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light. (D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.arrow_forwardFeeling a bit cool, you turn up the thermostat in your living room. A short time later the air is warmer.
