During three hours one winter afternoon, when the outside temperature was 00C(320F), a house heated by electricity was kept at 200C680Fwith the expenditure of(kilowatt hours) of electric energy. What was the average energy leakage in joules per second through the walls of the house to the environment (the outside air and ground)?

The rate at which energy is transferred between two systems is often proportional to their temperature difference. Assuming this to hold in this case, if the house temperature had been kept at, 250C(770F)how manyof electricity would have been consumed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The energy consumed is obtained as 56.3kWh.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Internal Energy and about temperature difference

Internal energy is a property or state function in thermodynamics that defines the energy of a material in the absence of capillary effects and external electric, magnetic, and other fields.

The temperature difference determines the pace at which heat energy is transmitted between two systems,PT where the value of P is the rate of transfer of heat energy and the value Tof is the temperature difference.

02

Calculation of leaked energy

Power is the average energy leaked per second that is given by:

P=E1t.

Substitute E1=45kWhand t=3hinto the above formula.

P=45kWh3h=15kW=15kW1000J/s1kW=15,000J/s

Therefore, the power is 15,000J/s .

03

Calculation of temperature difference

Find the difference in temperature of inside and outside in first case.

T1=T1-T0=200C-00C=200C

Find the difference in temperature of inside and outside in the second case.

T2=T2-T0=250C-00C=250

04

Calculation of the energy consumed

Write the equation for electrical energy spent in the second situation.

PTnEtTnETn

Divide E2by E1by using the obtained result.

E2E1=T2T1E2=T2T1E1

Substitute T2=250CT1=200C, and E1=45kWhinto the obtained equation.

Therefore, the energy consumed is 56.3kwh.

300gof water whose temperature is25oCare added to a thin glass containing 800 g of water at20oC(about room temperature). What is the final temperature of the water? What simplifying assumptions did you have to make in order to determine your approximate result?

Question: Design a 鈥渂ungee jump鈥 apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. You have cords that are10m long, and these cords stretch in the jump an additional 24mfor a jumper whose mass is 80kg, the heaviest adult you will allow to use your bungee jump (heavier customers would hit the ground). You can neglect air resistance. (a) Make a series of five simple diagrams, like a comic strip, showing the platform, the jumper, and the two cords at various times in the fall and the rebound. On each diagram, draw and label vectors representing the forces acting on the jumper, and the jumper鈥檚 velocity. Make the relative lengths of the vectors reflect their relative magnitudes. (b) At what instant is there the greatest tension in the cords? How do you know? (c) What is the jumper鈥檚 speed at this instant? (d) Is the jumper鈥檚 momentum changing at this instant or not? (That is, isdp鈬赌/dtnonzero or zero?) Explain briefly. (e) Focus on this instant, and use the principles of this chapter to determine the spring stiffnessksfor each cord. Explain your analysis. (f) What is the maximum tension that each cord must support without breaking? (g) What is the maximum acceleration (in g鈥檚) that the jumper experiences? What is the direction of this maximum acceleration? (h) State clearly what approximations and estimates you have made in your design.

Suppose that you warm up 500gof water (half a litre, or about a pint) on a stove while doing5脳10闯of work on the water with an electric beater. The temperature of the water is observed to rise from20oCto80oC. What was the change in the thermal energy of the water? Taking the water as the system, how much transfer of energyQdue to a temperature difference was there across the system boundary? What was the energy change of the surroundings?

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.)

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?
