Suppose your bicycle tire is fully inflated, with an absolute pressure of 7.00×10⁵ Pa (a gauge pressure of just under 90.0 lb/in²) at a temperature of 18.0ºC. What is the pressure after its temperature has risen to 35.0ºC? Assume that there are no appreciable leaks or changes in volume.

Two blocks, A and B, are made of the same material. Block A has dimensions l×w×h = L×2L×L and Block B has dimensions 2L×2L×2L. If the temperature changes, what is (a) the change in the volume of the two blocks? (b) the change in the cross-sectional area l×w? (c) the change in the height h of the two blocks?
(a) The change in volume is proportional to the original volume. Block A has a volume of L×2L×L = 2L³. Block B has a volume of 2L×2L×2L = 8L³, which is 4 times that of Block A. Thus the change in volume of Block B should be 4 times the change in volume of Block A. (b) The change in area is proportional to the area. The cross-sectional area of Block A is L×2L = 2L², while that of Block B is 2L×2L = 4L². Because cross-sectional area of Block B is twice that of Block A, the change in the cross-sectional area of Block B is twice that of Block A. (c) The change in height is proportional to the original height. Because the original height of Block B is twice that of A, the change in the height of Block B is twice that of Block A.

Why does snow remain on mountain slopes even when daytime temperatures are higher than the freezing temperature?
Snow is formed from ice crystals and thus is the solid phase of water. Because enormous heat is necessary for phase changes, it takes a certain amount of time for this heat to be accumulated from the air, even if the air is above 0ºC. The warmer the air is, the faster this heat exchange occurs and the faster the snow melts.

The heat transfer depends only on the temperature difference. Since the temperature differences are the same in both cases, the same 25 kJ is necessary in the second case.
Explain why a cup of water (or soda) with ice cubes stays at 0ºC, even on a hot summer day.

An engineer builds two simple pendula. Both are suspended from small wires secured to the ceiling of a room. Each pendulum hovers 2 cm above the floor. Pendulum 1 has a bob with a mass of 10 kg. Pendulum 2 has a bob with a mass of 100 kg. Describe how the motion of the pendula will differ if the bobs are both displaced by 12º.
The movement of the pendula will not differ at all because the mass of the bob has no effect on the motion of a simple pendulum. The pendula are only affected by the period (which is related to the pendulum's length) and by the acceleration due to gravity.
A famous magic trick involves a performer singing a note toward a crystal glass until the glass shatters. Explain why the trick works in terms of resonance and natural frequency.
The performer must be singing a note that corresponds to the natural frequency of the glass. As the sound wave is directed at the glass, the glass responds by resonating at the same frequency as the sound wave. With enough energy introduced into the system, the glass begins to vibrate and eventually shatters.

What is the change in the rate of the radiated heat by a body at the temperature T1 = 20ºC compared to when the body is at the temperature T2 = 40ºC ?
The radiated heat is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature. Because T1 = 293 K and T2 = 313 K, the rate of heat transfer increases by about 30 percent of the original rate.
Imagine you are holding one end of a jump rope, and your friend holds the other. If your friend holds her end still, you can move your end up and down, creating a transverse wave. If your friend then begins to move her end up and down, generating a wave in the opposite direction, what resultant wave forms would you expect to see in the jump rope?
The rope would alternate between having waves with amplitudes two times the original amplitude and reaching equilibrium with no amplitude at all. The wavelengths will result in both constructive and destructive interference
Why does it hurt more if your hand is snapped with a ruler than with a loose spring, even if the displacement of each system is equal?
The ruler is a stiffer system, which carries greater force for the same amount of displacement. The ruler snaps your hand with greater force, which hurts more.

Why is it possible to use ultrasound both to observe a fetus in the womb and also to destroy cancerous tumors in the body?
Ultrasound can be used medically at different intensities. Lower intensities do not cause damage and are used for medical imaging. Higher intensities can pulverize and destroy targeted substances in the body, such as tumors.
Explain why using a fan in the summer feels refreshing!
Using a fan increases the flow of air: warm air near your body is replaced by cooler air from elsewhere. Convection increases the rate of heat transfer so that moving air "feels" cooler than still air.

How is it possible to use a standing wave's node and antinode to determine the length of a closed-end tube?
When the tube resonates at its natural frequency, the wave's node is located at the closed end of the tube, and the antinode is located at the open end. The length of the tube is equal to one-fourth of the wavelength of this wave. Thus, if we know the wavelength of the wave, we can determine the length of the tube.

Question 4 1 / 1 pts In a popular classroom demonstration, a cotton ball is placed in the bottom of a strong test tube. A plunger fits inside the tube and it makes an air-tight seal. It is then pushed down very rapidly, and the cotton flashes and burns. This happens because when the air gets compressed its temperature increases. friction between the plunger and the tube ignited the cotton. cotton contains a pressure-sensitive substance that burns upon impact. the air becomes very turbulent and air friction produces heat. it's one of those demos that nobody understands. Correct! Question 5 1 / 1 pts The liquid level in a glass thermometer rises as the temperature increases because the pressure in the thermometer decreases. the volume expansion coefficient of glass is greater than that of the liquid. the volume expansion coefficient of glass is less than that of the liquid. the volume expansion coefficient of glass is the same as that of the liquid. the pressure in the thermometer increases.

That is because the car actually leaves the ground at higher speeds. the faster moving car actually crushes the bumps and makes the road smoother. the car's shock absorbers have more friction at higher speeds. at the higher speed more of the up and down motion is converted into forward motion. going faster in the car forces the suspension to oscillate at a frequency higher than its natural frequency.
