Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".
Answer:
1.19cm^3 of glycerine
Explanation:
Let Vo= 150cm^3 for both aluminum and glycerine, using expansion formula:
Volume of spill glycerine = change in volume of glycerine - change in volume of aluminum
Volume of glycerine = coefficient of volume expansion of glycerine * Vo* change in temperature - coefficient of volume expansion of Aluminum*Vo* change temperature
coefficient of volume expansion of aluminum = coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum*3 = 23*10^-6 * 3 = 0.69*10^-4 oC^-1
Change in temperature = 41-23 = 18oC
Volume of glycerine that spill = (5.1*10^-4) - (0.69*10^-4) (150*18) = 4.41*10^-4*2700 = 1.19cm3
Answer:
Explanation:
All the rest of the information is extraneous. The only 2 things you have to know are
d = 20 km
t = 8 minutes = 8/60 hours = 0.13333333
So the speed is s = d/t
s = 20/0.1333333 = 150 km/hour
Note: you have not specified what units the speed is. I suppose you could answer 20/8 = 2.5 km/min
