A person consumes about 2700 Cal a day. 1 Cal = 4186 J, and 1 kWh = 860 Cal.
Part A
What is this energy in joules? (2 sig figs)
Part B
What is this energy in kilowatt-hours? (2 sig figs)
Part C
If a power company charges about 10 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, how much would this energy cost per day if the person bought it from the power company? (2 sig figs)
When a body is heated, how fast the temperature of the body changes depends on the material. The
thermal
energy needed to change the temperature of a body by AT' is determined by the equation
AQ = mcAT
where AQ is the thermal energy, c is the specific heat of the material, and m is the mass of the body. The
specific heat is the thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram material by one degree.
If a hot metal block is put into cold water in a container, the metal block will be cooled, and the water and
the container will be warmed. Eventually, the system will be at a final temperature when thermal
equilibrium is reached. The process can be expressed as
Heat gained = Heat lost
[Heat Gained by the container and water] = [Heat lost by the metal block]
The initial temperature T; of the water and the container, the initial temperature of the metal block TB, the
final temperature of the system Tf, the specific heat of the container, and the specific heat of the metal
block are…
On a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool's temperature would rise by 13 C° if not for
evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough energy to
keep the temperature constant?
Express your answer in decimal form, to at least two digits after the decimal point.

Round your answer to decimal place.arrow_forwardAn object was left in a room of unknown surrounding temperature. The temperature of the object was summarized below with respect to the time t (in minutes) the object was initially observed. Predict and complete the information, i.e. determine the temperature in Celsius when t = 30 minutes. (Answer in four decimal places.) When t = 0, the temperature of the object is 30 degrees Celsius. When t = 10 minutes, the temperature of the object is 32 degrees Celsius. When t = 20 minutes, the temperature of the object is 33.6 degrees Celsius.
