A metal rod that is 30.0cm long expands by 0.0650 cm when its temperature is raised from 0.0°Cand 100°C. A rod of a different metal and of the same length expands by 0.0350 cm for the same rise in temperature. A third rod, also 30.0 cm long, is made up of pieces of each of the above metals placed end to end and expands 0.0580 cm between0.0°C and 100°C. Find the length of each portion of the composite rod?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The length of each portion A and B of rod is 32.0 cm and 7 cm respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of

step 1 is missing in the document.

02

Determination of formula for the length of rods

The change in length of the metal rods is given by,

∆L=∆LA+∆LB

Here, ∆LAis the change in length of rod A and ∆LBis the change in the length of B.

The value of ∆LAis given by,

∆LA=αALA∆T

Here, αAis the coefficient of expansion, LAis the length of rod A and ∆Tis the change in temperature.

Similarly,

∆LB=αBLB∆T

Here, αBis the coefficient of expansion, LBis the length of rod B and ∆Tis the change in temperature.

03

Determination of the value of length of each portion of the composite rod

the length equation the value of LAand LBis given by,

LA=∆L/∆T--0.300αBαA-αB

And

LB=30cm-LA

Substitute all the values in the above two equations.

LA=0.058×10-2m/100°C-0.300m1.65×10-5°C-11.00×10-5°C-1=23.0cmLB=30cm-23cm=7cm

Thus, the length of each portion A and B of rod is 23.0 cm and 7 cm respectively.

The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain, explains why the island of Niihau, a few kilometers to the southwest of Kauai, is almost a desert and farms there need to be irrigated.

The rate of effusion—that is, leakage of gas through tiny cracks—is proportional to vrms. If tiny cracks exist in the material that’s used to seal the space between two glass panes, how many times greater is the rate of He leakage out of the space between the panes than the rate of Xe leakage at the same temperature?

(a) 370 times; (b) 19 times;

(c) 6 times; (d) no greater—the He leakage rate is the same as for Xe.

Hydrothermal vents are openings in the ocean floor that discharge very hot water. The water emerging from one such vent off the Oregon coast, 2400m below the surface, is at 279° C. Despite its high temperature, the water doesn’t boil. Why not?

Imagine a special air filter placed in a window of a house. The tiny holes in the filter allow only air molecules moving faster than a certain speed to exit the house, and allow only air molecules moving slower than that speed to enter the house from outside. Explain why such an air filter would cool the house, and why the second law of thermodynamics makes building such a filter an impossible task.

Question: If the air temperature is the same as the temperature of your skin (about 30°C), your body cannot get rid of heat by transferring it to the air. In that case, it gets rid of the heat by evaporating water (sweat). During bicycling, a typical 70-kg person’s body produces energy at a rate of about 500W due to metabolism, 80% of which is converted to heat. (a) How many kilograms of water must the person’s body evaporate in an hour to get rid of this heat? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.42×106J/kg. (b) The evaporated water must, of course, be replenished, or the person will dehydrate. How many 750-mL bottles of water must the bicyclist drink per hour to replenish the lost water? (Recall that the mass of a litre of water is 1.0 kg.
