Bermuda is about as far north of the equator as North Carolina, but, unlike North Carolina, it has a subtropical climate year-round. Why is this so?
Explain why large bodies of water such as Lake Michigan can be quite chilly in early July despite the outdoor air temperatures being near or above 90°F (32°C).
In Miami, Florida, which has a very humid climate and numerous bodies of water nearby, it is unusual for temperatures to rise above about 38°C (100°F). In the desert climate of Phoenix, Arizona, however, temperatures rise above that almost every day in July and August. Explain how the evaporation of water helps limit high temperatures in humid climates.

(The Statue of Liberty is made of copper; its coefficient of thermal expansion is 16.7 x 10-6/°C.) it fille to the brim with water during a thunderstorm. Ifarrow_forwardIt is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For outdoor air temperature of 0°C, for example, the wind chill temperature is 25°C at 20 km/h winds and -9°C at 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0°C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to -5°C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h). For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34°C. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20°C.

- When night falls, the temperature of the earth’s surface starts to drop. On a cool night, dew starts to form on the grass as water vapor condenses. Once dew starts to form, the rate of temperature decrease slows. Explain why this change occurs.arrow_forwardThe temperature and humidity in the valley in the early afternoon were 29 °C and 30%, respectively. Later, dry winds sweeping across the valley carried away 4.0 grams of water vapor from each cubic meter of air. The temperature during at that time had increased to 32 °C.

I throw a hot chunk of iron into it (after which no heat enters or escapes the system), and the final temperature is 100 degrees Celcius with the ice having melted and some of the water actually boiling. The mass of the iron is 316 grams, and its initial temperature is 9,509 degrees Celcius. How many grams of water actually boil? (Don't write the unit, just the number.) You'll need these numbers: Specific heat of water: 4.2 J/g/deg Specific heat of iron: 0.46 J/g/deg Heat of fusion of water: 340 J/g Heat of Vaporization of water: 2300 J/garrow_forwardDo # 20arrow_forward
- On the KuyaWill temperature scale, the freezing point of water is -26°KW and the boiling point in 78°KW. The highest temperature in Metro Manila, 38.5°C was recorded on May 14, 1987. what is its equivalent in the Kuyawill temperature scale? Round off answer to the nearest whole number, ANSWER: OKW A Moving to the next question prevents changes to this answer. Question 1arrow_forwardBefore brewers had access to propane or natural gas, they would heat large, insulated vats of water by adding hot stones to the water. The stones are heated to 800°C before they are dropped into a particular well-insulated large vat holding 1,200 kg of water at 20°C. If we want to heat the water to 70°C, what mass of stones must be added the the vat? The specific heat of the stone is about 790 J/kg°C and the specific heat of water is 4,186 J/kg°C. Assume the mass of the water does not change and that the vat is a perfect insulator so no internal energy is lost to 6. 9arrow_forwardOne of the most dramatic temperature changes over a short distance occurs in Ecuador. The average at 100 m above sea level, is 29°C. Some 70 km to the east is temperature at the town of Ventanas, which the extinct volcano, Volcán Chimborazo, the summit of which is 6,270 m above sea level. The temperature at the summit is -11°C, in spite of the mountain being only about 170 km south of the equator. Express both temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit.
