Given Solution: ** The change in the thermal energy of an isolated system is 0. So assuming that the systems are isolated the thermal energy change of one object is equal and opposite to that of the other. For an ideal substance the change in the thermal energy of an object is directly proportional to the change in its temperature and to its mass (i.e., more mass and more change in temperature implies more change in thermal energy). The specific heat is the proportionality constant for the substance. Using `dQ for the change in the thermal energy of an object we can express this as · `dQ = mass * specific heat * `dT. (General College and University Physics students note that most substances do not quite behave in this ideal fashion; for most substances the specific heat is not in fact strictly constant and for most substances changes with temperature.) For two objects combined in a closed system we have `dQ1 + `dQ2 = 0, which gives us the equation · m1 c1 `dT1 + m2 c2 `dT2 = 0 or equivalently · m1 c1 `dT1 = - m2 c2 `dT2. That is, whatever energy one substance loses, the other gains. In this situation we know the specific heat of water, the two temperature changes and the two masses. We can therefore solve this equation for specific heat c2 of the unknown substance. ** Your Self-Critique: I am pretty sure I said that right. I am trying to grasp this the best I can.

At a dime per kilowatt hour, how much would this cost? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: 1 Cal is about 4200 Joules, so we can convert the 2500 Cal per day to Joules per day. 2500 Cal * (4200 Joules / 1 Cal) = 10,500,000 Joules Now I am not sure how to do the second part. 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. Your Self-Critique: I now understand how to do the second part.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: I am not sure how to do this, I have looked through trying to see how to approach this, but I am just not sure how to. 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: The book tells that according to energy conservation · initial KE = final KE + heat or (Q) · 100km/hr *3600*1/1000 = 360 m/s INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: 100km/hr *3600 sec / hr *1/ (1000 m / km) = 360 km^2 sec / ( m hr^2), not 360 m/s. The correct conversion would be 100 km / hr is 100 * 1000 meters / (3600 sec) = 28 m/s or so. 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). ** 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 = ½(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. Your Self-Critique: Now I see how this was supposed to be done. I will refer to this for future problems.
