How much taller, in meters, does the Eiffel Tower become at the end of a day when the temperature has increased by 17.5°C?arrow_forward
- Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. a. If a woman rubs her hands a total of 19 times (forward and backwards count separately), at a distance of 7.75 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 39 N, what is the temperature increase of her hands, in degrees Celsius? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers, and the heat capacity of her hands is 3500 J/(kg⋅°C).arrow_forwardAluminum rivets used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by "dry ice" (solid CO₂) before being driven. Part A If the diameter of a hole is 4.500 mm, what should be the diameter of a rivet at 23.0°C, if its diameter is to equal that of the hole when the rivet is cooled to -78.0°C, the temperature of dry ice? Assume that the expansion coefficient of aluminum is 2.4 x 10-5 (°C)-¹ and remains constant. -1 Express your answer in milimeters to four significant figures. d = Submit 15. ΑΣΦ Request Answer ?

D Specific Heat (J/kg°C) 899 443 385 213 Tin - because it has a low specific heat, which means it conducts heat the best. Aluminum - because it has a high specific heat, which means it conducts heat the best. Copper - because it has a mid-level specific heat, which means it is a good insulator. Iron - because it has a mid-level specific heat, which means it is a good conductor.arrow_forward
- A steel rod (p=7860 kg/m³) has a length of 3.75 m. It is bolted at both ends between immobile supports. Initially there is no tension in the rod, because the rod just fits between the supports. Find the tension that develops when the rod loses 3190 J of heat. Number ! Units Narrow_forwardAt the microscopic level heat conduction is a chain of collisions by particles of different kinetic energies. Suppose a heat interaction occurs between a hot object of 80 °C and a cool object of 10 °C, and the primary energy transfer mechanism is heat conduction. If the interaction continues long enough, how will the average kinetic energy of the particles in the (initially) hot object compare to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the (initially) cool object? a. The average KE of the hot object particles will be greater than the average KE of the cool object particles. b. The average KE of the hot object particles will be the same as the average KE of the cool object particles. c. There is no way to determine the correct answer.arrow_forwardaarrow_forward
