Chapter 7: Q6CP (page 299)

An electric hot plate raises its own internal energy and the internal energy of a cup of water by 8000J, and there is at the same time 1000Jtransferred to the cooler air (that is,Q=1000J ). How much energy was transferred to the hot plate in the form of electricity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amount of energy that was transferred to the hot plate in the form of electricity is 9000 J.

Step by step solution

01

Equation for transferred energy

Change in energy is∆Esys=8000Jand the transferred energy due to temperature difference is Q=-1000 J.

The formula to be used in getting the change in energy∆Esys=Q+Wwhere, Qis the Transferred energy due to temperature difference,Wis the mechanical energy transfer.

Solve the equation of change in energyfor W .

W=∆Esys-Q

02

Calculation for transferred energy

Substitute the values to the derived equation then solve.

W=∆Esys-Q=8000J-1000J=9000J

Therefore, the transferred energy to the hot plate is 9000J.

You place into an insulated container a 1.5 kg block of aluminium at a temperature of 45°C in contact with a 2.1 kg block of copper at a temperature of 18°C. The specific heat of aluminium is 0.91 J/g and the specific heat of copper is 0.39 J/g. What is the final temperature of the two blocks?

A sky diver whose mass is 90 kg, is falling at a terminal speed of 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of the air on the sky diver?

An oil company included in its advertising the following phrase: "Energy - not just a force, its power!" In technical usage, what are the differences among the terms energy, force, and power?

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: Figure 7.48 is a portion of a graph of energy terms vs, time for a mass on a spring, subject to air resistance. Identify and label the three curves as to what kind of energy each represents. Explain briefly how you determined which curve represented which kind of energy.
