1)  What is the length of the bridge on a hot day of 100 degrees Fahrenheit?

L = 49.977 m

L = 49.991 m

L = 50.013 m

L = 50.056 m

2)  What is the length of the bridge on a cold day of -10 degrees Fahrenheit?

L = 49.977 m

L = 49.991 m

T = 1.8oC

T = 2.5oC

T = 3.1oC

m = .018 kg

m = .034 kg

m = .079 kg

All ice at 0oC.

All ice below 0oC.

All water at 0oC.

All water above 0oC.

Some ice, some water but all at 0oC.

Some ice, some water but below 0oC.

Some ice, some water but all above 0oC.

1.5 moles of Helium begins at a temperature of 50 K, and a volume of .085 m2.

decrease

remain the same

11)  If the pressure is decreased, how will the density change?

increase

decrease

remain the same

12)  If the temperature is decreased how will the internal energy change?

increase

decrease

remain the same

13)  Calculate the final pressure if the temperature is increased to 300 K and the volume decreases to .05 m2

P = 32,780 Pa

P = 66,110 Pa

P = 74,790 Pa

867 m/s

1367 m/s

1967 m/s

2530 m/s

Explanation / Answer

1)
60 F = 15.5556 C
100 F = 37.7778 C
length of the bridge on a hot day of 100 degrees Fahrenheit = 50 + (12 *50 * (10^-6) * (37.7778 - 15.5556)) = 50.013 m
L = 50.013 m
2)
-10 F = -23.3333 C
length of the bridge on a hot day of 100 degrees Fahrenheit = 50 + (12 *50 * (10^-6) * (-23.3333 - 15.5556)) = 49.977 m
L = 49.977 m
3)
If it was aluminium,
the thermal expansion coeffiecient of aluminium is larger than 12 * 10^-6 m/C
so the contraction and expansions would be greater
greater is the answer
4)
smaller
5)
volume at 200 C = (4.425 * (10^-4)) * ( 1+ (87 * (10^-6) * (200-10))) = 4.49814525 * 10^-4 m^3
so density = 5/ (4.49814525 * (10^-4)) = 11116 kg/m^3 is the answer
6)
same
7)
Let T be the final temperature,
heat gain by ice = (2000 * 0.1 * 10) + (0.1 * 33.5 * (10^4)) + (0.1 * 4186* T)
heat lost by water = (0.5 * 4186 * (20 - T))
so, heat gain by ice = heat lost by water
(2000 * 0.1 * 10) + (0.1 * 33.5 * (10^4)) + (0.1 * 4186* T) = (0.5 * 4186 * (20 - T))
final temperature of the water, T = 2.5 C
8)
For final situation is all WATER at 0C
Let m be the mass of ice , T = 0
then
heat gain by ice = (2000 * m * 10) + (m * 33.5 * (10^4))
heat lost by water = (0.5 * 4186 * (20 ))
so, heat gain by ice = heat lost by water
(2000 * m * 10) + (m * 33.5 * (10^4)) = (0.5 * 4186 * (20 ))
m = 0.1179 Kg
How much MORE ice must be added = 0.1179 - 0. = 0.018 Kg
0.018 Kg is the answer
9)
Some ice, some water but all at 0 C.
10)
increase
11)
decrease
12)
decrease
13)
P1*V1 = n*R*T1
P1 * 0.085 = 1.5 * 8.314 * 50
P1 = 7335.882 Pa
P1 * V1 / T1 = P2*V2/T2
(7335.882 * 0.085) / 50 = (P2 * 0.05)/300
P = 74,790 Pa is the answer
14)
final internal energy = (3/2) * n* R* T = (3/2) * 1.5 * 8.314 * 300 = 5600 J
5600 J is the answer

15)
rms velocity of the gas molecules = sqrt ( 3*R* T /M) = sqrt ( 3 * 8.314 * 300/ 0.004) = 1367 m/s
1367 m/s is the answer
