PAPER. WORK IN FIVES. ROUND-OFF YOUR ANSWERS TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES. SUBMIT YOUR ANSWERS
NOT LATER THAN DECEMBER 12, 2019.
(b.) Obtain a formula that will convert a temperature in A-scale into B-scale. (3 pts.)
(c.) If the temperature of a substance reads + 40.0°𝐴 on the A-scale, what would be that temperature read on the B-
scale? (3 pts.)
2. Air-nergy gap. The brass bar and the aluminum bar in the drawing are
attached to an immovable wall. At 28°𝐶 the air gap between the rods is
∆𝐿𝑔𝑎𝑝 = 1.3 × 10−3 𝑚. Also, at 28°𝐶 the length of the brass is 2.0 m
and the length of the aluminum is 1.0 m. The gap closes at some
temperature T.
(a.) Let ∆𝐿𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠 and ∆𝐿𝐴𝑙 be the change in length of the brass and the aluminum at temperature T, respectively. Write
down the equation relating ∆𝐿𝑔𝑎𝑝 , ∆𝐿𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠 and ∆𝐿𝐴𝑙 . (2 pts.)
(b.) Solve for the temperature T when the gap closes. Use 𝛼𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠 = 19 × 10−6 / C° and 𝛼𝐴𝑙 = 23 × 10−6 / 𝐶°.
(3 pts.)
(c.) At what new temperature T will the gap be 3.9 × 10−3 𝑚? (5 pts.)
3. Steamy ice. A copper calorimeter can with mass 0.446 kg contains 0.0950 kg of ice. The system is initially at 0.0° 𝐶.
A 0.0350-kg of steam at 100.0° 𝐶 and 1.00 atm pressure is added to the can. 𝐿𝑓 = 334 × 103 𝐽/𝑘𝑔, 𝐿𝑣 =
2256 × 103 𝐽/𝑘𝑔, 𝑐𝑐𝑢 = 390 𝐽/𝑘𝑔 · 𝐾, 𝑐𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 4190 𝐽/𝑘𝑔 · 𝐾
(a) Can the 0.0350 kg steam melt all the 0.0950 kg ice? Answer this by calculating the heat released in condensing all
the steam and by calculating the heat absorbed in melting all the ice. (3 pts.)
(b) What is the final temperature of the can and its components? (4 pts.)
(c) How many kilograms are there of ice, how many of liquid, and how many of steam after thermal equilibrium is
reached? (3 pts)
4. The tire has risen. An automobile tire has a volume of 0.0150 m3 on a cold day when the temperature of the air in
the tire is 5.0° 𝐶 and the atmospheric pressure is 1.02 atm. Under these conditions the gauge pressure is measured to
be 1. 70 atm. After the car is driven on the highway for 30.0 min, the temperature of the air in the tires has risen to
45.0° 𝐶 and the volume has risen to 0.0159 m3.
(a) Write down the absolute initial temperature of the air inside the tire, the absolute final temperature and the initial
absolute pressure in atm. (3 pts.)
(b) Assume that the air inside the tires can be treated as ideal gas. What is the gauge pressure after 30 min (2 pts.)
5. 𝜎 = 5.6704 × 10−8 𝑊/𝑚2 · 𝐾 4 . How many days does it take for a perfect blackbody cube (0.0100 m on a side,
30.0°𝐶) to radiate the same amount of energy that a one-hundred-watt light bulb uses in one hour? (5 pts.)
We swear that we did not copy my classmate’s work nor let anybody copy our work.
