Chapter 16 Temperature and Heat Q.1CQ
Answers to odd-numbered Conceptual Questions can be found in the back of the book A cup of hot coffee is placed on the table Is it ¡n thermal equilibrium? What condition determines when the coffee is in equilibrium?
Solution:
A body is said to be in thermal equilibrium, if there is no exchange of heat between the body and its surroundings
The moment a coffee cup is placed on the table, its temperature is different from that of its surrounding atmosphere. Hence, there is a transformation of heat energy from the coffee cup to the surroundings Therefore, the coffee is not in thermal equilibrium Over time, the temperature of the coffee will decrease until it is the same as the room temperature At this point, it will be in equilibrium, as long as the room stays at the same temperature

A brass plate has a circular hole whose diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of an
aluminum ball. If the ball and the plate are always kept at the same temperature. (a) should the
temperature of the system be increased or decreased in order for the ball to fit through the
hole? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
L The aluminum ball changes its diameter more with temperature than the brass plate, and
therefore the temperature should be decreased.
IL Changing the temperature won’t change the fact that the ball is larger than the hole.
IlL Heating the brass plate makes its hole larger, and that will allow the ball to pass through.
Solution:
Explain whether the temperature of the system be increased or decreased in order for the aluminum balito fit through the hole of the brass piate This can be explained basing on the concept of coefficient of thermal expansion Given that the diameter of the hole is slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball The aluminum ball and the hole of the brass plate are kept at same temperature From Table 16-1
shown in the textbook the value of coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is more compared to the value of coefficient of linear expansion of brass To fit the ball through the hole the
system should be cooled. This is because inWally the diameter of the ball is slightly larger than the diameter of the hole and if the system is cooled the ball will contract by a greater amount than compared to that of the hole and hence the ball lits through the hola Thus, the temperature of the system should be decreased for the ball to fit through the hola Given that the diameter of the hole is slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball The aluminum ball and the hole of the brass plate are kept at same temperatura From Table 16-1 shown in the textbook the value of coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is more compared to the value of coefficient of linear expansion of brass. So if the temperature is decreased the diameter of the aluminum ball changes more compared to that of the hole.
If the temperature is changed (increased) then the ball will expand more compared to the hola Heating the system. results that the aluminum ball will expand at a faster rate than the hole of
the brass plata Hence, the correct statement is (l)

Asteel tape measure is marked in such a way thatitgives accurate length measurements at a normal room temperature of 20 °C. If this tape measure is used outdoors on a cold day when the temperature is 0°C, are its measurements too long, too short, or accurate?
Solution:
The measurements on a cold day are too long because the steel tape contracts due the decreased temperature. When we measure the length with the second tape on a cold day, it shows a larger measurement. Thus, the distance between the tick marks on the tape measure have decreased. Therefore, the cool tape measures show more tick marks between the two points than they should.

If the SR-71 were painted white instead of black, would its in-flight temperature be greater than, less than, or equal to its temperature with black paint?
Solution:
Picture the problem:
According to the problem, the blackbird SR-71 was painted white instead of black. We can observe the difference in the temperature when the blackbird is filled with the above two colours and it can be known by using the concept of radiation.
Strategy:
A Black body is a perfect emitter and a perfect absorber. This property of the blackbody is valid for radiation corresponding to all wavelengths and to all the incident angles.
Solution:
A perfect white body neither emits nor absorbs any radiation, whereas a blackbody is a perfect emitter and a perfect absorber. So, the blackbody emits the radiation incident on it which is not the case for a white body. Because, the white body is not a perfect emitter, the in flight temperature remains the same as the temperature at the time of its take off and it will be greater than that of the in flight temperature of the blackbird painted in black.

Since metal is more dense than water, how is it possible for a metal boat to float?
Solution:
The buoyant force exerted on the body is equal to the weight of water displaced by the body. The weight of the fluid also depends on the density of the tluid
Two torces act upon an object when it enters into water torce due to gravity which act directly in the downward direction and an upward buoyance torce which is determined by the weight ot the
water displaced by the objectS An object floats it torce due to gravity is less than the upward buoyance torce In other words, an object floats it its weight is less than the amount ot water it displaces. A metal boat floats because, even though it weighs a lot. it displaces a huge amount ot water that weighs even mora Also, a boat is designed in such a manner so that they it displace sufficient water to assure that it floats easily.

CE A fish canying a pebble in its mouth swims with a small, constant velocity in a small bowl. When the fish drops the pebble to the bottom of the bowl, does the water level rise, fall, or stay the same?
Solution:
The fluid exerts an upward force when an object is placed in that fluid. This force comes from the pressure imposed by the fluid on that particular object.
As the pressure increases, the depth also increases. It depends on the buoyant t say whether the object floats or sinks.
Fish displaces some volume of water, which to become neutrally buoyant. When a fish holds a pebble, water is displaced which is equal to its weight and the weight of the pebble.
Fish adjusts its swim bladder to attain neutral buoyancy, when it drops a pebble into the water. During this activity, the fish displaces water equal to its weight only and the pebble displaces water equal only to its own volume. When the fish drops the pebble, smaller volume of water was displaced concluding that the level of water will fall.
Therefore, the water level will fall.

(b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
I. When the block is inverted the ball pulls it downward causing more of the block to be submerged.
II. The same amount of mass is supported in either case, there fore the amount of the block that is submerged is the same
III. When the block is inverted the ball experiences a buoyant force, which reduces the buoyant force that must be provided by the wood.
Solution:
Reasoning:
Archimedes principle states that, an object completely immersed in a fluid experience an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of fluid displaced by the object. An object floats when it displaces an amount of fluid equal to its weight.
Solution:
(a) If block is inverted, and ball is immersed in the water, the buoyant force experienced
by the steel ball is greater than the buoyant force experienced by the wood block as displaced volume of the water is greater for steel ball than wood block. This result, volume of the wood block that submersed in the water will. Because, buoyant force directly proportional to weight of the displaced volume of the water
(b) When the block is inverted the ball experiences a buoyant force, which reduces the buoyant force that must be provided by the block of wood.

I. Inverting the block makes the block float higher in the water, which lowers the water level in the tank.
II. The same mass is supported by the water in either case, and therefore the amount of displaced water is the same.
III. The inverted block floats lower in the water, which displaces more water and raises the level in the tank.
Solution:
mastering-physics-solutions-chapter-15-fluids38ps
(a)
The weight of the block will be same, whether it is erect or inverted. So the same mass will be supported by the water and thus the volume of water that must be displaced to float the block will be same when it is inverted. As a result, the water level in the tank remains the same.
(b)
The weight of the block will be same, whether it is erect or inverted. So the same mass will be supported by the water and thus the volume of water that must be displaced to float the block will be same when it is inverted. As a result the water level in the tank remains the same. Hence, the best explanation is (II).

CE A helium-filled balloon for a birthday party is being brought home in a car. The balloon is connected to a string, and the passenger holds the lower end of the string in her lap. When the car i s a t res t a t a stop sign the string is vertical. As the car accelerates away from the light, does the string going to the balloon lean forward, lean backward, or remain vertical?
Solution:
Solution:
If the car accelerates forward, the air inside the car shifts towards backside and so the passengers are pressed back into their seats this makes the air pressure inside the car increases from front to back. According to buoyancy the helium-filled balloon moves in the direction of decreasing pressure. Thus, the balloon moves toward the front of the car.

Inside the boat with the person are some bricks, (a) If the person drops the bricks overboard to the bottom of the pool, does the water level in the pool increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
I. When the bricks sink they displace less water than when they were floating in the boat; hence, the water level decreases.
II. The same mass (boat + bricks + person) is in the pool in either case, and therefore the water level remains the same.
III. The bricks displace more water when they sink to the bottom than they did when they were above the water in the boat; therefore the water level increases.
Solution:
(a)
Consider a person drops the bricks overboard to the bottom of the pool, same volume of water separated. Therefore the water levels in the pool increase.
(b)
The bricks displace more water when they sink to the bottom than they did when they were above the water in the boat. Therefore, the water level increases.
Therefore, the best explanation among the given options is (III).

CE A person floats in a boat in a small backyard swimming pool. Inside the boat with the person are several blocks of wood. Suppose the person now throws the blocks of wood into the pool, where they float, (a) Does the boat float higher, lower, or at the same level relative to the water? (b) Does the water level in the pool increase, decrease, or stay the same?
Solution:
Concept:
The Archimedes’s principle states that an object completely immersed in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal in magnitude to the weight of fluid displaced by the object.
Solution:
(a) As the person throws the blocks of wood into the pool, the boat is carrying a reduced weight. Thus, it floats higher relative to the water.
(b) The water level in the pool remains the same because the blocks of wood displace the same amount of water as they are in water or in the boat. In both cases, they displace a volume of water with a weight equal to their weight.

CE A pan half-filled with water is placed near the run of a rotating turntable. Is the normal to the surface of the water in the pan tilted outward away from the axis of rotation, tilted inward toward the axis of rotation, or is the water surface level and the normal vertical? (Refer to Problem 68 in Chapter 6 for a similar situation.)
Solution:
SOLUTION:
As we move farther from the axis of rotation, the water level in the pan increases. As a result, any amount of water in the pan will experience a net force directed toward the axis of rotation, as it is in a circular motion. Hence, the surface of the water in the pan is tilted inward toward the axis of rotation.

Given:
Answer: It will stay where it is released.
The marble will stay where it is released because the surface of the water is perpendicular to the local effective gravity of the rotating turntable even the water itself does not flow inward or outward when it is filled at this angle.
If the water is frozen, and a marble is placed on its surface the marble will stay just as the liquid water did before it was frozen.

CE BIO Sphygmomanometer” When a person’s blood pressure is taken with a device known as a sphygmomanometer, it is measured on the arm, at approximately the same level as the heart. If the measurement were to be taken on the patient’s leg instead, would the reading on the sphygmomanometer be greater than, less than, or the same as when the measurement is made on the arm?
Solution:
SOLUTION:
The pressure in a fluid increases with depth. The reading of blood pressure on the sphygmomanometer when the measurement is made at the leg is greater than the measurement is made on the arm. This is due to the reason that the leg of the standing person is below the heart level (or arm).

Chapter 14 Waves and Sounds Q.117PP
Modern-day animals make extensive use of sounds in their interactions with others. Some sounds are meant primarily for members of the same species, like the cooing calls of a pair of doves, the long-range infrasoimd communication between elephants, or the songs of the hump-backed whale. Other sounds may be used as a threat to other species, such as the Tattle of a rattlesnake or the roar of a lion.
There is little doubt that extinct animals used sounds in much the same ways. But how can we ever hear the call of a long-vanished animal like a dinosaur when sounds don’t fossilize? In some cases, basic physics may have the answer.
Consider, for example, the long-crested, duck-billed dinosaur Parasaurohplus walkeri, which roamed the Earth 75 million years ago. This dinosaur possessed the largest crest of any duck bill—so long, in fact, that there was a notch in P. walker’s spine to make room for the crest when its head was tilted backward. Many paleontologists believe the air passages in the dinosaur’s crest acted like bent organ pipes open at both ends, and that they produced sounds P. walkeri used to communicate with others of its kind. As air was forced through the passages, the predominant sound they produced would be the fundamental standing wave, with a small admixture of higher harmonics as well. The frequencies of these standing waves can be determined with basic physical principles. Figure 14-43 presents a plot of the lowest ten harmonics of a pipe that is open at both ends as a function of the length of the pipe.

Explain, (b) Find the fundamental frequency if the speed of sound in air increases to 348 m/s. Assume the bottle is 26.0 cm tall, and that it contains water to a depth of 6.5 cm.
Solution:
a) The speed of sound in air increases with increase in temperature. This can be observed from the table 14-1 in the text book. The frequency of sound wave in air is directly proportional to the speed of the sound in air. When speed of the sound waves decreases due to increase in temperature, then frequency of the sound wave also increases.

A basketball player dribbles a ball with a steady period of T seconds. Is the motion of the ball periodic? Is it simple harmonic? Explain.
Solution:
The motion of a particle, which is repeated in position and phase after a certain interval of time. is defined as periodic motion The periodic motion, in which a particle moves to and fr0 about a fixed point such that its acceleration is always directly proportional to its displacement from its mean position. is defined as simple harmonic motion. Since the player dribbles the ball with constant period, the motion is periodic. On the other hand. the position and velocity of the ball do not vary sinusoidally with time, instead it varies linearly. So the motion is not a simple harmonic motion.

Chapter 13 Oscillations About Equilibrium Q.100PP
Insects are ectothermic, which means their body temperature is largely determined by the temperature of their surroundings. This can have a number of interesting consequences. For example, the wing coloration in some butterfly species is determined by the ambient temperature, as is the body color of several species of dragonfly. In addition, the wing beat frequency of beetles taking flight varies with temperature due to changes in the resonant frequency of their thorax.
The origin of such temperature effects can be traced back to the fact that molecules have higher speeds and greater energy as temperature is increased (see Chapters 16 and 17). Thus, for example, molecules that collide and react as part of the metabolic process will do so more rapidly when the reactions are occurring at a higher temperature. As a result, development rates, heart rates, wing beats, and other processes all occur more rapidly.
One of the most interesting thermal effects is the temperature dependence of chirp rate in certain insects. This behavior has been observed in cone-headed grasshoppers, as well as several types of cricket. A particularly accurate connection between chirp rate and temperature is found in the snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni Walker), which chirps at a rate that follows the expression N = T − 39, where N is the number of chirps in 13 seconds, and T is the numerical value of the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. This formula, which is known as Dolbear’s law, is plotted in Figure (green line) along with data points (blue dots) for the snowy tree cricket.

where G is the universal gravitational constant.
Gravity exerts an action-reaction pair of forces on m1 and m2. That is, the force exerted by gravity on m1 is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted on m2. It is dependent on the product of masses. If the gravitational force depended on the sum of the two masses, it would predict a non-zero force even when one of the masses is zero. That is, there would be a gravitational force between a mass and a point in empty space, which is certainly not what we observed.

Chapter 12 Gravity Q.4CQ
Imagine bringing the tips of your index fingers together. Each finger contains a certain finite mass, and the distance between them goes to zero as they come into contact. From the force law F = Gm1m2/r2 one might conclude that the attractive force between the fingers is infinite, and, therefore, that your fingers must remain forever stuck together. What is wrong with this argument?
Solution:
As the tips of the fingers approach one another, we can think of them as being two small spheres that touch each other. Even though the two spheres touch each other, the distance between the centers is not zero. This is always a finite number. Therefore, the force between the spheres is always finite, even they touch each other. As such, the two fingers simply experience the finite force of two point masses separated by a finite distance.

Solution:
Use the concept of orbital transfer to place the satellite into a new orbit.
(a)
The decelerating or accelerating rockets at some point in the circular orbit of the satellite would allow the satellite into a new orbit which is not a circle. The new orbit is an ellipse. The largest distance between the Earth and the satellite in an elliptical orbit is called the apogee distance. In the case of transfer of orbits, the apogee distance increases if the speed of the rocket increases a while in the original orbit.
(b)
The smallest distance between the Earth and the satellite in an elliptical orbit is nothing but the perigee distance. In case of transfer of orbits, the perigee distance doesn’t change and equal to the radius of the original circular orbit.

(a) As a result, will the length of the month increase, decrease, or remain the same? (b) Choose the best expianation from among the following: I. The greater the radius of an orbit, the greater the period,
which implies a longer month.
II. The length of the month will remain the same due to conservation of angular momentum,
III. The speed of the Moon is greater with increasing radius; therefore, the length of the month will be less.
Solution:
a) If the average distance increases, then the length of the month also increases.
b) The period depends upon the radius. Greater the radius, greater will be the period. Option (1) is correct.

Chapter 12 Gravity Q.41P
CE Predict/Explain (a) Is the amount of energy required to get a spacecraft from the Earth to the Moon greater than, less than, or equal to the energy required to get the same spacecraft from the Moon to the Earth? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
I. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.
II. The situation is symmetric, and hence the same amount of energy is required to travel in either direction.
III. It takes more energy to go from the Moon to the Earth because the Moon is orbiting the Earth.
Solution:
Use the concept of escape speed of the planet. The escape speed of the planet is the minimum speed at which the object frees from the gravitational attraction of the planet.
(a)
The escape speed of an object launched from the planet depends only on the mass and size of the planet, but not on the mass of the object. The escape speed of the Earth is much greater than that of the Moon. Since the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity, the more energy is required to launch the spacecraft from the Earth to the Moon than that required to launch the spacecraft from the Moon to the Earth.
(b)
The option (I) is correct.

CE Predict/Explain Suppose the Earth were to suddenly shrink to half its current diameter, with its mass remaining constant, (a) Would the escape speed of the Earth increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
I. Since the radius of the Earth would be smaller, the escape speed would also be smaller.
II. The Earth would have the same amount of mass, and hence its escape speed would be unchanged.
III. The force of gravity would be much stronger on the surface of the compressed Earth, leading to a greater escape speed.
Solution:
a) The escape speed of the earth increases.
b) The force of gravity would be much stronger on the surface of compressed Earth, leading to a greater escape speed. Option (III) is correct.

Chapter 12 Gravity Q.47P
CE Is the energy required to launch a rocket vertically to a height h greater than, less than, or equal to the energy required to prit the same rocket into orbit at the height hi Explain.
Solution:
The energy required to launch a rocket vertically to a height h is equal to the potential energy of the rocket at that height. However, for a rocket to be put into orbit at a height h, both kinetic energy and potential energy are required. So the energy required for the rocket to be put into orbit is greater than the energy required to launch a rocket vertically to the same height.

CE A satellite goes through one complete orbit of the Earth. (a) Is the net work done on it by the Earth’s gravitational force positive, negative, or zero? Explain, (b) Does your answer to part (a) depend on whether the orbit is circular or elliptical?
Solution:
(A) When a satellite goes through one complete orbit, this means the satellite returns to
the initial point at which it started. The resulting net displacement is zero. So the net work done on it by Earth’s gravitational force is zero.
(B) No, the answer to part (A) is independent of the shape of the orbit (i.e., whether the orbit is circular or elliptical). It is dependent on the displacement by the satellite.

CE The Crash of Skylab Skylab, the largest spacecraft ever to fall back to the Earth, met its fiery end on July 11,1979, after flying directly over Everett, WA, on its last orbit. On the CBS Evening News the night before the crash, anchorman Walter Cronkite, in his rich baritone voice, made the following statement: “NASA says there is a little chance that Skylab will land in a populated area.” After the commercial, he immediately corrected himself by saying,”I meant to say ‘there is little chance’ Skylab will hita populated area.” In fact, it landed primarily in the Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia, though several pieces were recovered near the town of Espérance, Australia, which later sent the U.S. State Department a $400 bill for littering. The cause of Skylab’s crash was the friction it experienced in the upper reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere. As the radius of Skylab’s orbit decreased, did its speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.
Solution:
The speed of the Skylab increases with decreasing radius. We might think that friction would slow Skylab just like other objects are slowed by friction – but by dropping Skylab to a lower orbit, friction is ultimately responsible for an increase in speed.
