Chapter 7: Q2Q (page 316)

Substance A has a large specific heat (on a per gram basis), while substance B has a smaller specific heat. If the same amount of energy is put into a 100 g block of each substance, and if both blocks were initially at the same temperature, which one will now have the higher temperature?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The temperature of Substance B will be higher.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of specific heat

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat energy which is required to raise the temperature of a substance per unit of mass.

02

Finding thermal energy equation

To begin, create the thermal energy equation, in which we solve for substance A's specific heat (CA).

Write the equation for thermal energy and solve for substance A.

E=mCA螖罢A=mCA(Tf,A鈭�Ti)CA=Em(Tf,A鈭�Ti)

Similarly, CB=Em(Tf,B鈭�Ti)

03

Finding the temperature of the substance

To show that the fact that CA is greater than CB implies that substance B has a higher ultimate temperature than substance A.

CA>CBEm(Tf,A鈭�Ti)>Em(Tf,B鈭�Ti)Tf,B鈭�Ti>Tf,A鈭�TiTf,B>Tf,A

Therefore, the temperature of Substance B will be higher.

When a falling object reaches terminal speed, its kinetic energy reaches a constant value. However, the gravitational energy of the system consisting of object plus Earth continues to decrease. Does this violate the principle of conservation of energy? Explain why or why not.

A box with its contents has a total mass of 36 kg. It is dropped from a very high building. (a) After reaching terminal speed, what is the magnitude of the air resistance force acting upward on the falling box? (b) The box survived the fall and is returned to the top of the building. More objects are put into the box, and the box with its contents now has a total mass of 71 kg. The box is dropped, and it reaches a higher terminal speed than before. After reaching terminal speed, what is the magnitude of the air resistance force acting upward on the falling box? (The fact that the heavier object reaches a higher terminal speed shows that the air resistance force increases with increasing speed.)

Question: A mass of 0.3 Kghangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.8 mand whose unstretched length is 0.65 m. Next the mass is pulled down so the spring has a length of 0.9 mand is given an initial speed upward of 1.2 m/s. What is the maximum length of the spring during the following motion? What approximations or simplifying assumptions did you make?

A man sits with his back against the back of a chair, and he pushes a block of mass m=2kgstraight forward on a table in front of him, with a constant force F=30 N, moving the block a distance D=0.3 m. The block starts from rest and slides on a low-friction surface. (a) How much work does the man do on the block? (b) What is the final kinetic energy K of the block? (c) What is the final speed V of the block? (d) How much time 鈭�tdoes this process take? (e) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man? (f) What is the internal energy of the man?

Now suppose that the man is sitting on a train that is moving in a straight line with speed V=15m/s, and you are standing on the ground as the train goes by, moving to your right. From your perspective (that is, in your reference frame), answer the following questions: (g) What is the initial speed localid="1657950350828" viof the block? (h) What is the final speedvfof the block? (i) What is the initial kinetic energy of the block? (j) What is the final kinetic energykfof the block? (k) What is the change in kinetic energy鈭�K=Kf-Ki, how does this compare with the change in kinetic energy in the man鈥檚 reference frame? (l) How far does the block move鈭�x? (m) How much work does the man do on the block, and how does this compare with the work done by the man in his reference frame and with 鈭�Kin your frame? (n) How far does the chair move? (o) Consider the system of the man plus the block: how much work does the chair do on the man, and how does this compare with the work done by the chair in the man鈥檚 reference frame? (p) What is the internal energy change of the man, and how does this compare with the internal energy change in his reference frame?

Describe a situation in which neglecting the effects of air resistance would lead to significantly wrong predictions.
