A piece of unknown material weighs 0.4 kg. It is heated to 70 °C, then transferred into a 2 kg bath of oi at 20 °C. The bath temperature eventually reaches 40 °C. Assuming that Cmaterial = 0.6 kJ/(kg-K), calculate the specific heat of the oil in kJ/(kg-K). Do not include units in your answer and write the numerical value in normal form.

An arctic weather balloon is filled with 40.7 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 7.°C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is −11.°C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon.You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1atm. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
An object was left in a room of unknown surrounding temperature. The temperature of the object was summarized below with respect to the time t (in minutes) the object was initially observed. Predict and complete the information, i.e. determine the temperature in Celsius when t = 30 minutes. (Answer in four decimal places.) When t = 0, the temperature of the object is 30 degrees Celsius. When t = 10 minutes, the temperature of the object is 32 degrees Celsius. When t = 20 minutes, the temperature of the object is 33.6 degrees Celsius. When t = 30 minutes, the temperature of the object is unknown. Assume the system obeys Newton’s Law of Cooling and the surrounding temperature of the room did not change.
Heat Q, which has the SI unit of joule (J), is the quantity in mechanical engineering that describes the transit of energy from one location to another. The equation for the flow of heat during the time interval At through an insulated wall is KAAT Q = (Тh — T) where k is the thermal conductivity of the material from which the wall is made, A and L are the wall's area and thickness, and Th – T; is the difference (in degrees Celsius) between the high- and low-temperature sides of the wall. By using the principle of dimensional consistency, what is the correct dimension for thermal conductivity in the SI? The lowercase Greek character kappa (K) is a conventional mathematical symbol used for thermal conductivity. Appendix A summarizes the names and symbols of Greek letters. О a. (W-m)/°C O b. °C/(W. m) O c. (m . °C)/W O d. W/(m . °C)
A metal ball, which has a surface area of 175 cm2, is heated in a furnace to 678 oC. a)State the value of temperature in the correct SI units. State your answer as a whole number (and use this value as a whole number, if needed in subsequent calculations). b)State the area in correct SI units. Give your answer in Scientific notation using E for x10x., e.g. you would enter 3.21x106 as 3.21E6. Make sure you have 3 significant figures in the first part of the answer and use this value to this degree of accuracy, if needed in subsequent calculations.Note that Numbas will mark equivalent answers as correct e.g. if 3.21E6 was the correct answer then 32.1E5 or 321E4 etc. would also be marked correct. c)If the emissivity of the metal ball is 0.7, at what rate does it radiate energy? (Stefan Boltzmann constant, s= 5.67 x 10-8 W m-2 K-4) State your answer (in Watts) to the nearest whole number. d)What is the peak wavelength of the radiation emitted by the metal ball? Give your answer (in µm) to…

Please, I need help with the 3 questions. I have tried solving them but the result is not consistent with other things im finding online... How do I even calculate the net on the first question...1)Consider a domestic hot water tank that has a total surface area of A = 2.9 m2. The tank and its contents are maintained at a constant temperature of 58 °C by an electric immersion heater and the temperature of the surroundings outside the tank is 19°C. The emissivity of the tank is ε = 0.76. Calculate the net power radiated by the tank (i.e. the difference between the power radiated and the power absorbed). Give your final answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. 2)The tank is now completely surrounded by an insulating layer of rock mineral wool of thickness l = 0.115 m. The thermal conductivity of rock mineral wool is k = 0.032 W m−1 K−1.You may assume that the surface area of the layer of rock mineral wool is the same as the surface area of the tank. Calculate the power…
SOLUTION IS NEEDED. You are to design a device that will conduct 250 J/s from a hot furnace of temperature 700 degree Celsius to a container of boiling water. If the specific part of the device uses a 100 cm cylindrical aluminum rod where the heat transfer will occur, what must be the diameter (in meter) of the rod to be used? Round-off your final answer to the nearest thousandths. Do not type the unit in your final answer. * KAI = 205 W m.K
