you heat a half cup of tea and its temperature rises by 8C how much will the temperature rise if you add the same amount of heat to a full cup of tea

4C

why will spraying fruit trees with water before frost help to protect the fruits from freezing

As the water freezes, it loses heat to the cold air, but at the same time, it loses heat to the leaves, stems and fruit of the tree too, so it actually warms up the tree a small amount as well. Once the ice is frozen on the tree, it also acts as an insulator to prevent more cold from getting to the tree itself. water is a great insulator

why is it important to protect water pipes so they do not freeze

Because water expands when it is frozen and this increased pressure will cause the pipes to break.

Bermuda is close to north Carolina but unlike north Carolina it has a tropical climate year round. why?

Bermuda is an island. the surrounding water warms it when it might be too cold, and coolsit when it might be too warm

which is larger celsius or kelvin

Celsius

absolute zero refers to 0C

False it is 0k

would it be slightly more difficult to draw soda through a straw at sea level or on top of a very high mountain

It would be harder on the top of a mountain because the pressure of the atmosphere is lower the higher you go. The atmospheric pressure pushes on the surface of the liquid when you suck which helps the liquid move up the straw. At sea level, the pressure is fourteen and a half pounds per square inch and reduces as you move higher.

which has the greater amount of internal energy an iceberg or a cup of hot coffee

The hot coffee has a higher temperature, but not a greater internal energy. Although the iceberg has less internal energy per mass, its enormously greater mass gives it a greater total energy than that in the small cup of coffee.

why is an umbrella in danger of being turned inside out on a windy day

The wind moving over the top of the umbrella exerted less pressure than the still air beneath. The still air pushed the umbrella up from below.

the reason a person finds it easier to float in salt water compared with fresh water is that in salt water

a smaller volume of water id displaced

When a liquid changes phase to a gas it

absorbs energy

an umbrella tends to move upwards on a windy day principally because

air pressure is reduced over the curved top surface

if you want to cook eggs by boiling them while in the mountains, then compared to sea level cooking you should

boil the eggs for a longer time

which has the greater density a lake full of water or a cup full of lake water

both have the same density

bottom hole

by a force equal to the weight of liquid desplaced

when a sample of 0C water is heated it first

contracts

copper expands more than iron

If earth radiated more energy than it absorbs from the sun earths average temperature would

decrease

which of the following does not emit radiation

everything emits radiation

when a sample of 4C water is cooled it

expands

a boat loaded with scrap iron floats in a swimming pool. when iron is thrown overboard, the pool level will

fall

from the cup to the water

suppose you rapidly stir some raw eggs with an eggbeater the temperature of the eggs will

increase

as a system becomes more distorted, entropy

increases

pushed to the wall by the atmosphere

the silver coating on the glass surfaces of thermos bottle reduces energy that is transferred by

radiation

air speeds up as it is blown across the top of the vertical tube. How does this affect the air pressure in the vertical tube, and what then occurs

reduced air pressure in the tube lets atmospheric pressure on the liquid surface push liquid up into the tube where it joins the jet of air in a mist

When a gas is changed to a liquid phase, the gas

releases energy

heat energy is measured in units of

remains the same

when an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level

remains the same

when stringing telephone lines between poles in the summer it is advisable to allow the lines to

sag

Consider two tubes filled with water at the same height one with fresh water water and the other with salt water the pressure is greater at the bottom of the tube with

same pressure on each

when thermal insulation such as spun glass or rock wool is placed beneath the roof of a house then in cold weather the insulation will

slow the flow of heat from inside the house to the outside

it is commonly thought that a can of beverage will cool faster in the coldest part of the refrigerator. knowledge of newtons law of cooling

supports this knowledge

the pressure due to waters change in momentum can be much greater than the waters internal pressure

consider two mercury barometers one with twice the cross sectional area of the other. neglecting capillary mercury in the smaller tube will rise

the same height as in the larger tube

when a chocolate bar is cut inhale its density is

unchanged

completely submerged object always displaces its own

volume of fluids

during a very cold winter, water pipes sometimes burst the reason for this is

water expands when freezing

A dam is thicker at the bottom that at the top because

water pressure is greater with increasing depth

atmospheric pressure is caused by the

weight of Earths atmosphere

a balloon is buoyed up with a force equal to the

weight of air it displaces

a fish normally displaces its own

weight of water and volume of water
