The following three hot samples have the same temperature. The same amount of heat is removed from each sample. Which one experi

ences the smallest drop in temperature, and which one experiences the largest drop?
Sample A: 4.0 kg of water [c = 4186 J/(kg·C°)]

Sample B: 2.0 kg of oil [c = 2700 J/(kg·C°)]

Sample C: 9.0 kg of dirt [c = 1050 J/(kg·C°)]

Answer:

Smallest drop: Water

Largest drop: Dirt

Explanation:

The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:

Q=cm\Delta T (1)

with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and \Delta T the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for

Sample A:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{4186*4.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{16744}

Sample B:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{2700*2.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{5400}

Sample C:

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{cm} =\frac{Q}{1050*9.0}

\Delta T=-\frac{Q}{9450}

Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression -\frac{Q}{cm} that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.

So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.

(Important: The minus sign of \Delta T implies the temperature is dropping)

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.
