CE Predict/Explain Consider two apple pies that are identical in every respect, except that pie 1 is piping hot and pie 2 is at room temperature, (a) If identical forces are applied to the two pies, is the acceleration of pie 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the acceleration of pie 2? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
- I. The acceleration of pie 1 is greater because the fact that it is hot means it has the greater energy.
- II. The fact that pie 1 is hot means it behaves as if it has more mass than pie 2, and therefore it has a smaller acceleration.
III The pies have the same acceleration regardless of their temperature because they have identical rest masses.

- (a) Prepare a table like Table 21.1 for the following occurrence. You toss four coins into the air simultaneously and then record the results of your tosses in terms of the numbers of heads (H) and tails (T) that result.

- 27. You are in a toob floating down the Guadalupe River. The river is flowing with 2 m/s. Your friend, who is 1 meter away, pushes the floating cooler in your direction with a velocity (horizontal to the river) of 0.5 m/s. See drawing below You Initial distance = Cooler = 0.5 m/s River = 2 m/s 1 meter Cooter How much time does it take for the cooler to reach you? b.

- Newton's Law of Cooling The temperature, u, of a heated object at a given time t can be modeled by the equation u(t)= T+ (uo - T)ekt where k < 0 is a constant, T is constant ambient temperature, and zo is the initial temperature of the heated object. Suppose that an object has been heated to 59 degrees celsius and is then allowed to cool in a room that is kept at a constant 31 degrees celsius. If the temperature of the object is 42 degrees celsius after 7 minutes, when will its temperature be 36 degrees celsius? minutes.arrow_forwardIn a gasoline engine, fuel vapors are ignited by a spark.

- Think about the drinking bird at the beginning of this section (Figure 15.21). Although the bird enjoys the theoretical maximum efficiency possible, it left to its own devices ever time, the bird will cease “drinking." What are some of the dissipative processes that might cause the bird's motion to cease? Figure 15.21 This novelty toy, known as the drinking bird, IS an example of Carnot's engine. It contains methylene chloride (mixed with a dye) in the abdomen, which boils at a very low temperature—about 100°F. To operate, one gets the bird's head wet. As the water evaporates, fluid moves up into the head, causing the bird to become top-heavy and dip forward back into the water. This cools down the methylene chloride in the head, and it moves back into the abdomen, causing the bird to become bottom heavy and tip up. Except for a very small Input of energy—the original head- wetting—the bird becomes a perpetual motion machine of sorts.
