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

When temperature and volume remain constant what ratio remains constant?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I think(but not sure) that you're looking for the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature expressed by the ideal gas law

PV = nRT

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:42:27

** PV = n R T so n R / P = T / V; since T and V remain constant T / V and therefore n R / P remain constant; since R is constant it follows that n / P remains constant. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

19:50:54

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Not sure I understand the question fully, but solving the ideal gas law for V shows that

V = nRT/P where R is a constant (J/mol*K) and n is number of moles of gas which is a function of volume (any gas at STP 1mol=22.4L).

Not sure if I'm answering the problem or not.

The point is that if only temperature and volume change, then n and P remain constant. Solving for V / T we obtain n R / P; all these factors are constant so V / T must be constant.

** STUDENT ANSWER AND INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE:

They are inverselt 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. **

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?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

1.05 10^7 J = 2500Cal

A Kwh =1000J/sec * 3600 sec = 3.6 10^6 J

So 2500 Cal = 2.9 Kwh * $.10 = 29 cents

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

20:03:20

One Cal (with capital C) is about 4200 Joules, so 2500 Cal is about 4200 * 2500 Joules = 13,000,000 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.

13,000,000 Joules / (3,600,000 Joules / kwh) = 4 kwh, rounded to the nearest whole kwh.

This is about 40 cents worth of electricity.

It's worth noting that you use 85% of this energy just keeping yourself warm, so the total amount of physical work you can produce in a day is worth less than a dime.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

4200 * 2500 = 10,500,000 not 13,000,000

Is the correct answer 29 cents, not 40cents?

your answer is correct

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 speec of 100 km/hr?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

the amount of KE converted to heat would be = to

1/2mv^2 or 1/2 *1200Kg* (1 10^5 m/s)^2 = 6 10^7 J / 4.186 10^3 J/ Kcal =14,333 Kcal

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

The book tells that according to energy conservation

initial KE = final KE + heat or (Q)

100km/hr *3600*1/1000 = 360 m/s

** 100 km / hr is 100 * 1000 meters / (3600 sec) = 28 m/s or so.

With units your conversion would be 100km/hr *3600 sec / hr *1/ (1000 m / km) = 360 km^2 sec / ( m hr^2).

Correct conversion with conversion factors would be 100 km / hr * (1000 m / km) * (1 hr / (3600 sec) = 28 m/s, approx.

Otherwise your solution is correct.

STUDENT SOLUTION WITH DIFFERENT ERROR IN UNITS

Ke=0.5(1000Kg)(100Km)^2 = 5MJ

1Kcal=4186J

5MJ/4186J==1194Kcal

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT:

Right idea but 100 km is not a velocity and kg * km^2 does not give you Joules.

100 km / hr = 100,000 m / (3600 sec) = 28 m/s, approx.

so

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

made a unit conversion error when converting km/hr to m/s

query gen phy problem 14.13 .4 kg horseshoe into 1.35 L of water in .3 kg iron pot at 20 C, final temp 25 C, spec ht of hossshoe

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Q=mcdT

Q=1.35Kg*1.0*5=6.75J (for temp change of water)

Q=.3Kg*.11*5=.165 J (for temp change of pot)

total Q is 6.915 J

dT=Q/mc

dT=6.915/.4Kg*.11

dT=157C

157+25 = original temp of horseshoe was 182 C

c = Q/mdT

=6.915J/.4Kg*157C = .11 which is the specific heat of the horseshoe (iron)

** STUDENT SOLUTION BY EQUATION (using previous version in which the amount of water was 1.6 liters; adjust for the present 1.35 liters):

M1*C1*dT1 + M2*C2*dT2 = 0 is the equation that should be used.

0.4kg * 450J/Kg*Celcius *(25celcius -T1) + 0.3kg * 450J/kg*celcius * (25 celcius - 20 celcius) + 1.6kg *4186J/kg*celcius * (25 celcius - 20 celcius) = 0

}

Solve for T1, T1 = 214.8 Celsius

Solution below is 189.8 C.

GOOD STUDENT SOLUTION:

This problem is very similar to the first video experiment. You can determine in the same way the thermal energy gained by the water. The pot gains a little thermal energy too,and you have to know how many Joules are gained by a kg of the iron per degree per kg, which is the specific heat of iron (give in text). You can therefore find the energy lost by the horseshoe, from which you can find the energy lost per degree per kg.

For this problem I think we are assuming that none of the water is boiled off ass the hot horse shoe is dropped into the water. First I will find the initial temperature of the shoe.

Since water's density is 1g/ml, 1 milliliter of water will weigh 1 gram. So 1.35 Liters of water will have a mass of 1.35 kg.

1.35kg of water is heated by 5 degrees

The specific heat of water is

4186 J/kg/degrees celsius so 4186 J / kg / C *1.35 kg * 5 C = 28255 J

is necessary to heat the water but since it is in equilibrium with the bucket it must be heated too.

mass of bucket = 0.30 kg

specific heat of iron = 450 J/kg/degrees

450 J / kg / C * 0.30 kg * 5 C = 675 J to heat bucket

So it takes

675 J to heat bucket to 25 degrees celsius

28255 J to heat water to 25 degrees celsius

so the horse shoe transferred 675+28255 = 28930 J of energy.

Mass of horse shoe = 0.40 kg

horse shoe is also iron

specific heat of iron = 450 J/kg/degree

28930 J / 0.40kg =72,326 J / kg

72,326 J/kg / (450 J / kg / C) = 160.7 C, the initial temperature of the horseshoe.

STUDENT ERROR: MISSING COMMON KNOWLEDGE: Estimate 1.60L of water = 1KG. Could not find a conversion for this anywhere.

1 liter = 1000 mL or 1000 cm^3. Density of water is 1 gram/cm^3 so 1 liter contains 1000 g = 1 kg. Alternatively, density of water is 1000 kg / m^3 and 1 liter = .001 m^3, leading to same conclusion. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I thought I worked this problem correctly and I did get the correct specific heat for the iron shoe, but I was off 8degC on the initial temp of the shoe. I got 182C and the book says 190C.

Do you see where i made my error?

Your energies won't be in Joules since the specific heats you used were unitless. However you were consistent in this, so your answer should have worked out.

Your numbers do appear to check out.
