Q

Which of the following correlates best with the average temperature of the earth . . .

A

Solar activity

19
Q

A piece of chocolate melts in your mouth. This is an example of

A

heat conduction.

20
Q

Natural processes tend to increase the _____ of thermodynamic systems.

A

entropy

21
Q

What is the principle mechanism causing earth’s temperature to warm and cool?

A

heat is transferred from the substance.

23
Q

Which are bigger: Celsius (Centigrate) degrees or Fahrenheit degrees?

A

Celsius (Centigrate)

24
Q

The total kinetic and potential energies of all the atoms and molecules of a substance is its

A

internal energy.

25
Q

Heat transfer by radiation occurs via

A

electromagnetic waves.

26
Q

A baseball with mass 0.14 kilograms and speed 40 m/s is caught. If all of its kinetic energy is converted to internal energy as it is caught, what is its temperature change in degrees Celsius? (Assume the baseball’s specific heat capacity is 1,000 joules per kilogram degree Celsius, and remember that kinetic energy is ½mv2.)

A

0.8

27
Q

Why do bridges have expansion joints?

A

to keep them from buckling and cracking because of seasonal temperatuire changes.

28
Q

You hold one end of a solid rod in a fire, and the other end becomes hot. This is an example of

A

heat conduction.

30
Q

When ice melts, its temperature

A

33
Q

The specific heat capacity of copper is three times the specific heat capacity of lead. Equal masses of copper and lead are heated from room temperature to the temperature of boiling water. To achieve this, the amount of heat added to the copper is _____ the amount of heat added to the lead.

A
