An infected tooth forms an abscess (area of infected tissue) that fills
with gas. The abscess puts pressure on the nerve of the tooth, causing
a toothache.
While waiting to see a dentist, the
person with the toothache tried to
relieve the pain by treating the infected
area with moist heat.
1) Will this treatment help?
2) Why or why not?
Suppose a lot of papers are strewn all over the floor; thenyou stack them neatly. Does this violate the second law ofthermodynamics? Explain
A woman expends 95 kJ of energy in walking a kilometer. The energy is supplied by the metabolic breakdown of food intake and has a 35 percent efficiency. If the woman drives a car over the same distance, how much energy is used if the car gets 8.8 km per liter of gasoline (approximately 20 mi/gal)? The density of gasoline is 0.71 g/mL, and its enthalpy of combustion is 49 kJ/g. Enter your answer in scientific notation.
Compare the efficiencies of the two processes.
kJ (driving)/ kJ (walking)

- Discuss the relative effectiveness of dieting and exercise in losing weight, noting that most athletic activities consume food energy at a rate of 400 to 500 W, while a single cup of yogurt can contain 1360 kJ (325 kcal). Specifically, is it likely that exercise alone will be sufficient to lose weight? You may wish to consider that regular exercise may increase the metabolic rate, whereas protracted dieting may reduce it.arrow_forward4 A sample A of liquid water and a sample B of ice, of identical mass, are placed in a thermally insulated container and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. Figure 18-25a is a sketch of the tempera- ture T of the samples versus time t. (a) Is the equilibrium temperature above, below, or at the freezing point of water? (b) In reaching equi- librium, does the liquid partly freeze, fully freeze, or undergo no freez- ing? (c) Does the ice partly melt, fully melt, or undergo no melting?arrow_forward(a) What is the average metabolic rate in watts of a man who metabolizes 10,500 kJ of feed energy in one day?

Sometimes a fever is the body's response to the bacteria. What is the reason for developing a fever? * No answer To lower the temperature of the body to kill the bacteria.

Number of textbook lifts = _______________.arrow_forward35. when we are hot, our body automatically increases the rate of perspiration. This helps our body to cool down, mainly because: (a) The more liquid (water) we loose, the less mass remains in the body, and therefore total internal energy of the body decreases. (b) The sweat evaporates, and it takes the heat of evaporation from our body. (c) The relative humidity in the vicinity of our body increases, causing the skin to "feel" colder even though temperature has not decreased. (d) Sweat is hot, therefore as body losses it, we feel colder.arrow_forward
