Put a few spoonfuls of water into a bottle with a tight lid. Make sure everything is at room temperature, measuring the temperature of the water with a thermometer to make sure. Now close the bottle and shake it as hard as you can for several minutes. When you're exhausted and ready to drop, shake it for several minutes more. Then measure the temperature again. Make a rough calculation of the expected temperature change, and compare.

Short Answer

The expected Temperature isΔ°Õ=0.05K.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.  The assumption from the given question.

There is room temperature water in the bottle. The goal is to predict how much the temperature of the water will drop in a few minutes of shaking the container.

Start with some assumptions. If you try to shake the bottle3times in a second, you will succeed. So it 3times up and3times down, for a total of 6moves. If you pay closer attention to the shaking, you'll see that the distance between each up and down movement is around20cm.

Step 2. Energy equation.

Energy equation,

12·v2=C·Δ°Õ

Need to find Specific heatC.

C=4.18kJmolK

So,

To figure out how much it will change in a matter of minutes. Let's say5minutes have passed. After5minutes, calculate the temperature change.

Your 200 g cup of tea is boiling-hot. About how much ice should you add to bring it down to a comfortable sipping temperature of 65°C? (Assume that the ice is initially 65°C. The specific heat capacity of ice isrole="math" localid="1650146844935" 0.5cal/g°C.

When the temperature of liquid mercury increases by one degree Celsius (or one kelvin), its volume increases by one part in 550,000 . The fractional increase in volume per unit change in temperature (when the pressure is held fixed) is called the thermal expansion coefficient, β :
β≡ΔV/VΔT
(where V is volume, T is temperature, and Δ signifies a change, which in this case should really be infinitesimal if β is to be well defined). So for mercury, β =1 / 550,000 K-1=1.81 x 10-4 K-1. (The exact value varies with temperature, but between 0oC and 200oC the variation is less than 1 %.)
(a) Get a mercury thermometer, estimate the size of the bulb at the bottom, and then estimate what the inside diameter of the tube has to be in order for the thermometer to work as required. Assume that the thermal expansion of the glass is negligible.
(b) The thermal expansion coefficient of water varies significantly with temperature: It is 7.5 x 10 -4 K-1 at 100oC, but decreases as the temperature is lowered until it becomes zero at 4oC. Below 4oC it is slightly negative, reaching a value of -0.68 x 10-4K-1 at 0oC. (This behavior is related to the fact that ice is less dense than water.) With this behavior in mind, imagine the process of a lake freezing over, and discuss in some detail how this process would be different if the thermal expansion coefficient of water were always positive.


Calculate the rms speed of a nitrogen molecule at room temperature.

An ideal gas is made to undergo the cyclic process shown in the given figure. For each of the steps A, B, and C, determine whether each of the following is positive, negative, or zero: (a) the work done on the gas; (b) the change in the energy content of the gas; (c) the heat added to the gas.

Then determine the sign of each of these three quantities for the whole cycle. What does this process accomplish?

By applying Newton’s laws to the oscillations of a continuous medium, one can show that the speed of a sound wave is given by

cs=BÒÏ,

where ÒÏis the density of the medium (mass per unit volume) and B is the bulk modulus, a measure of the medium’s stiffness? More precisely, if we imagine applying an increase in pressure ΔPto a chunk of the material, and this increase results in a (negative) change in volume ΔV, then B is defined as the change in pressure divided by the magnitude of the fractional change in volume:

B=ΔP–ΔV/V

This definition is still ambiguous, however, because I haven't said whether the compression is to take place isothermally or adiabatically (or in some other way).

  1. Compute the bulk modulus of an ideal gas, in terms of its pressure P, for both isothermal and adiabatic compressions.
  2. Argue that for purposes of computing the speed of a sound wave, the adiabatic B is the one we should use.
  3. Derive an expression for the speed of sound in an ideal gas, in terms of its temperature and average molecular mass. Compare your result to the formula for the RMS speed of the molecules in the gas. Evaluate the speed of sound numerically for air at room temperature.
  4. When Scotland’s Battlefield Band played in Utah, one musician remarked that the high altitude threw their bagpipes out of tune. Would you expect altitude to affect the speed of sound (and hence the frequencies of the standing waves in the pipes)? If so, in which direction? If not, why not?
