A new term for the concept of heat.
Answer to Problem 1PQ
Thermotransportation energy is an appropriate term for the concept of heat.
Explanation of Solution
The energy transferred from a system to its surrounding or vice versa is represented by the term heat. The
The term apparopriate for heat is thermotransportation enrgy. This explains the temperature difference in the system and surrounding. This term explains the energy transfer between the system and surrounding as well.

- In an air conditioner, 12.65 MJ of heat transfer occurs from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What mass of ice melting would involve the same heat transfer? (b) How many hours of operation would be equivalent to mailing 900 kg of ice? (c) If ice costs 20 cents per kg, do you think the air conditioner could be operated more cheaply than by simply using ice? Describe in detail how you evaluate the relative costs.arrow_forwardThermodynamics You are given a sample of metal and asked to determine its specific heat. You weigh the sample and find that its weight is 28.4 N. You carefully add 1.25 x 104J of heat energy to the sample and find that its temperature rises 18.0°C. What is the sample’s specific heat? (Ans: 240 J / kgm°C)arrow_forwardWrite down the expressions for the physical laws that govern each mode of heat transfer, and identify the variables involved in each relation.arrow_forward
- As I use sandpaper on some rusty metal, the sandpaper gets hot because: a. heat is flowing from the sandpaper into the metal.b. heat is flowing from the metal into the sandpaper.c. frictional processes increase the internal energy of the sandpaper. d. heat is flowing from my hand into the sandpaper.arrow_forwardAn object can only transfer heat by either conduction, convection, or radiation. Is this true or false? If true, explain why? If false, give an example and how it transfers energy via more than one process.

I) If a solid body at a temperature of 120°C is placed inside a liquid at a temperature of 20°C, then the solid body will give off heat and the liquid will receive heat. II) Heat is a form of energy that spontaneously passes from a higher temperature body to a lower temperature one. III Temperature and heat are the same physical quantity. It is correct what is stated in Choose an option:a)just I and II.b)I, II, III.c)only II and III.d)only II.e)only III.arrow_forward
- Double-glazed windows are usually made of two glass panes with a thin layer of air sealed between the panes. a. Why do these windows reduce heat loss to a much greater extent than occurs if the double glazing is replaced by a thicker glass instead? b. Why does the insulating effect of the double glazing decrease if the two glass panes are too far apart? Explain.arrow_forwardWhich of the following scenarios describes heat according to its scientific definition? A It is the average kinetic energy of one molecule of water.

If you are unfamiliar with some of the choices, you may have to look up what some of the acronyms mean O ICON O CRC O Wikipedia O NIST O Science Blog Daily O CERNarrow_forwardConsider two objects, A and B, which has different temperatures. Also assume that A is hotter then B. What does the 0th law of thermodynamics say about this situation? a. It says that B must be transferring heat to A. b. It says that A must be transferring heat to B. c. The zeroth law of thermodynamics does not apply to this situation. d. It says that A and B are in thermodynamic equilibrium. e. It says that A and B are *not* in thermodynamics equilibrium.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement is true about added heat and phase change in a material? A. There is no heat needed for a material to change its phase. It can occur spontaneously. B. The temperature of the material does not change during a phase change, and the added heat is completely used in changing phase of the material. C. The temperature of the material increases as the material changes its phase. The added heat is used in changing the temperature as well as phase both. D. None of the above is true.arrow_forward
