Question: query problem 15 introductory problem sets temperature and volume information find final temperature.

When temperature and volume remain constant what ratio remains constant?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

nR/P

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** PV = n R T so n R / P = V / T

Since T and V remain constant, V / T remains constant.

• Therefore n R / P remain constant.

• Since R is constant it follows that n / P remains constant. **

Question: why, in terms of the ideal gas law, is T / V constant when only temperature and volume change?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

V/T=nR/P if n and P don’t change then that proportion is constant and this so is T/V

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** STUDENT ANSWER AND INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE:

They are inversely proportional. They must change together to maintain that proportion.

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE:

You haven't justified your answer in terms of the ideal gas law:

PV = n R T so V / T = n R / P.

If only T and V change, n and P don't change so n R / P is constant.

Therefore V / T is constant, and so therefore is T / V.

You need to be able to justify any of the less general relationships (Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, etc.) in terms of the general gas law, using a similar strategy. **

Question: prin and gen problem 14.3: 2500 Cal per day is how many Joules? At a dime per kilowatt hour, how much would this cost?

Your Solution:

1C=4200J so 4200J*2500C=10,500,000 J

1kilowatt hour=3,600,000J

10,500,000/3,600,000= 3kwh*10c=30cents

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

One Cal (with capital C) is about 4200 Joules, so 2500 Cal is about 4200 * 2500 Joules = 10,500,000 Joules.

A watt is a Joule per second, a kilowatt is 1000 Joules / second and a kiliowatt-hour is 1000 Joules / second * 3600 seconds = 3,600,000 Joules.

10,500,000 Joules / (3,600,000 Joules / kwh) = 3 kwh, rounded to the nearest whole kwh.

This is about 30 cents worth of electricity, and a dime per kilowatt-hour.

Relating this to your physiology:

• You require daily food energy equivalent to 30 cents’ worth of electricity.

• It's worth noting that you use 85% of the energy your metabolism produces just keeping yourself warm.

• It follows that the total amount of physical work you can produce in a day is worth less than a dime.

Question: prin phy and gen phy problem 14.07 how many Kcal of thermal energy would be generated in the process of stopping a 1200 kg car from a speed of 100 km/hr?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

100km/h=28m/s

KE=1/2mv^2

KE=1/2(1200kg)*(28^2)=470,400J/4186= 112 kcal

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

NOTE: The given solution is based on student solutions for a previous edition of the text, in which the mass of the car was 1000 kg and its initial velocity 100 km/hr. The adjustments for the current mass and velocity (1200 kg and 95 km/hr as of the current edition) are easily made (see the student question below for a solution using these quantities).

**STUDENT SOLUTION for 1000 kg car at 100 km/hr WITH ERROR IN CONVERSION OF km/hr TO m/s:

KE = .5(1000 kg)(28 m/s)^2 = 400,000 J (approx.). or 100 Kcal (approx). **

STUDENT QUESTION:

The book and this problem originally states *1200kg* as the mass. The solution uses 1000kg, giving the answer as about 100kcal. The book uses 95km/hr, 1200kg, and gets an answer of 100kcal. This problem shows 100km/hr, with a mass of 1000kg in the solution and still an answer of 100kcal. I just want to make sure I am doing it correctly.

Where 26.39m/s should be used, I am using the conversion for this specific problem with 100km/hr = 1000m/1hr =

1hr/3600s = 27.78 ~28m/s.

KE = 1/2mv^2

= ˝(1200kg)(28 m/s)^2 = 470,400kg*m/s^2 = 470,400 J

470,400J = 1 cal/4.186J = 1 kcal/1000cal = 112.37 kcal = 112kcal

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE:

I apparently missed the change in the latest edition of the text; or perhaps I chose not to edit the student solutions posted here.

In any case your solution is good.
