Chapter 18 Physics

Descending air down a mountain will warm an environment, cool an environment, cool deserts only at night, or warm deserts only at sunrise?

Warm an environment

When a parcel of air expands against the environment and no heat enters or leaves its temperature increases, decreases, or remains unchanged?

decreases

When the air of a fully inflated party balloon quickly escapes its temperature drops, rises, or remains unchanged?

drops

Harry places a new air conditioner in the middle of his heart to room, which when operating cools the room, further warms the room, or neither?

further warms the room

lowest possible temperature in nature is

0 K

entropy is most closely related to the first law of thermodynamics or second to law of thermodynamics?

Second law of thermodynamics

The earths atmosphere gets most of its heat from the sun or earths core?

Sun

The most disorderly arrangement of energy with in matter is also the least probable state of matter, the most probable state of matter, or a matter of certainties not probabilities?

The most probable state of matter

A heat engine would have 100% efficiency if it's low temperature reservoir were as hot as it's reservoir or at absolute zero?

at absolute zero

the quantity of water has more entropy when it is frozen ice, at room temperature, or boiling?

boiling

Your hand is warmed when you blow on it with your mouth open, but when your lips are puckered so that air expands as you blow, the air on your hand is warmer, cooler, or neither?

cooler

Systems tend to move toward order, disorder, or temperature inversions?

disorder

entropy is a measure of order or disorder?

disorder

The greater the temperature difference between input and output reservoirs of a heat engine, the greater or smaller efficiency?

greater

and adiabatic process is characterized by the absence of entropy, pressure change, heat exchange, or temperature change?

heat exchange

As a parcel of air at high altitude sinks to a lower elevation with no heat input or output, its temperature increases, decreases, or will remain unchanged?

increases

As a system becomes more disordered, entropy increases, decreases, or remains the same?

increases

When you rapidly stir raw eggs with an egg beater the temperature of the eggs increases, decreases, or remains unchanged?

increases

when you compress air with a tire pump, the air temperature in the tire increases, decreases, or remains unchanged?

increases

high-quality energy in natural processes has a tendency to transform into higher quality energy, lower quality energy, or internal energy?

lower quality energy

Systems tend to move toward a state of less entropy, no entropy, or more entropy?

more entropy

The origin of most of the internal energy in the earths interior is the sun, radioactivity, or volcanoes?

radioactivity

volume of air that is compressed with no heat entering or leaving becomes cooler, remains unchanged, or warmer?

warmer

A temperature inversion occurs when the upper layers of air are

warmer than the lower regions of air

Processes can proceed from diss order to order when input energy is supplied or on an every day occurrence?

when input energy is supplied
