Several days after snowfall , the roofs of some homes on your street have almost no snow on them, while the roofs on other homes

are still covered. Assuming they have all received the same amount of sunlight, give one reason for this observation related to thermal energy & insulation.

Explanation:

This due to thermal insulation of some of the roof.

An insulator is body is a poor conductor of heat and will require high thermal energy to cause temperature changes.

  • A house with a roof that is thermally insulated will have poor heat conduction.
  • Since little heat is conducted, there wont be enough thermal energy to melt the snow.
  • Thermal energy is directly related to heat.
  • A house that is not insulated will absorb a lot of heat.
  • This will cause the snow to melt very fast.

A toy helium balloon is initially at a temperature of T = 24o C. Its initial volume is 0.0042 m3 (It is a 10 cm radius sphere).
Anettt [7]

Answer:

T_{f} = 335.780\,K\,(62.630\,^{\textdegree}C)

Explanation:

Let assume that air behaves ideally. The equation of state of ideal gases is:

P\cdot V = n\cdot R_{u}\cdot T

Where:

P - Pressure, in kPa.

V - Volume, in m³.

n - Quantity of moles, in kmol.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant, in \frac{kPa\cdot m^{3}}{kmol\cdot K}.

T - Temperature, in K.

Since there is no changes in pressure or the quantity of moles, the following relationship between initial and final volumes and temperatures is built:

\frac{V_{o}}{T_{o}} = \frac{V_{f}}{T_{f}}

The final temperature is:

T_{f} = \frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}}\cdot T_{o}

T_{f} = 1.13\cdot (297.15\,K)

T_{f} = 335.780\,K\,(62.630\,^{\textdegree}C)

An office worker has his lunch on the 53rd floor of an office building. In which case is the gravitational potential energy of t
alekssr [168]

Answer: In all cases, gravitational potential energy, respect from a common reference level (street level for instance) is the same.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, comes from the action of the gravitational field, which is a conservative one.

This means, that if someone does work against the field (for instance lifting a weight from the ground to a given height), and then drops the weight, the work done by the field will be exactly the same.

Otherwise, the object would have remaining energy after returning to the starting point, which would violate the laws of physics, specially Thermodynamic's 2nd Law.

For this reason, the gravitational potential energy only depends from the height, and is independent from the path taken to reach there.
