Consider an experiment where we take water in an insulated container and try to find the relationships between energy added and temperature change. What things are important to consider? For example does it matter how much water we start with? How fast we change the temperature? What if we have a different material we are adding heat to, does that make a difference?

Answer #1

Okay we are assuming we have 'm' amount of water in the container and adding Q amount of heat then by the relation

Q = mSΔt

So for finding out temperature we have to know heat added and amount of water.

Yes it matters how much water we have added. Because for same amount of heat added temperature change is different for different amount of water.

It doesnot depend on how fast we change the temperature because we are calculating relation between heat added and temperature, not between rate of change of heat and temperature.

Yes if we add heat to a different material then its specific heat varies so relationship between heat added and temperature change varies.

In an experiment to prove the first law of thermodynamics, we will have a can of soda. First we will empty the can, then we will put a small amount of water. We will hang the soda can using a retort stand, then we wil start heating the can, which will cause the can to shake in place after the water starts boiling. Now my question for chegg is, how can you prove the first law of thermodynamics in this...

Part A IN gams: In an experiment, a 0.270-kg piece of ceramic superconducting material at 17 °C is placed in liquid nitrogen at its boiling point (−195.8 °C) to cool. The nitrogen is in a perfectly insulated flask that allows the gaseous N2 to escape immediately. How much mass of liquid nitrogen will be boiled away?

In Science experiments, it is very important to consider controlled variables so that there is only ONE independent variable and ONE dependent variable. We “control the variables” by making anything else that could change during the experiment into a constant. For example, if you are doing an experiment to find out what material can hold more water, then it is important to make sure all the materials you are testing are the same size, the experiment is happening at the...

Consider the energy we use everyday in routine tasks, where that energy comes from, and where it goes. When you climb stairs you overcome the force of gravity to raise yourself to some height. It does not matter what the slope of the stairs are; the work done is against gravity which is always vertical so only the height counts. Take a typical human mass of 65 kg (roughly 143 lb of gravitational pull or weight) and a stairway up...

Alright, so we have all seen the movies where someone gets blasted out of the airlock on their starship, or their suit decompresses while on a space walk. The poor schmoe usually either decompresses so violently that blood is oozing out of every orifice in their body, or they freeze instantly. From this I have two questions: Would the decompression really be that violent? Clearly the drastic difference in pressure from a normal "earth" like environment to space would be...

this is a thermodynamics course We want to model energy and mass balance issues involved in strenuous exercise, for example the running of a marathon. Suppose a 70 kg marathon runner runs at an ≈8 minute/mile pace, completing the 26.2 mile race distance in 210 minutes, or 3.5 hours. a.) Physiological measurements indicate that the total power consumed by an average weight runner (70 kg) at a pace of 8 minutes/mile is about 900 kcal/hour. What is the total energy...
