A leaf of area 40cm² and mass 4.5 x 10⁻⁴ kg directly faces the Sun on a clear day. The leaf has an emissivity of 0.85 and a specific heat of 0.80 kcal/kg · K .




(c) Will the temperature rise continue for hours? Why or why not?

(a) Estimate the total power radiated into space by the Sun, assuming it to be a perfect emitter at T = 5500 K. The Sun’s radius is 7.0 x 10⁸ m. (b) From this, determine the power per unit area arriving at the Earth, 1.5 x 10¹¹ m away (Fig. 19–37).

A 12-g lead bullet traveling at 220 m/s passes through a thin wall and emerges at a speed of 160 m/s. If the bullet absorbs 50% of the heat generated,

(b) If the bullet’s initial temperature was 20°C, will any of the bullet melt, and if so, how much?

In a cold environment, a person can lose heat by conduction and radiation at a rate of about 200 W. Estimate how long it would take for the body temperature to drop from 36.6°C to 35.6°C if metabolism were nearly to stop. Assume a mass of 65 kg. (See Table 19–1.)

A mountain climber wears a goose-down jacket 3.8 cm thick with total surface area 0.95 m² . The temperature at the surface of the clothing is -18°C and at the skin is 34°C. Determine the rate of heat flow by conduction through the jacket assuming (a) it is dry and the thermal conductivity k is that of goose down, and (b) the jacket is wet, so k is that of water and the jacket has matted to 0.50 cm thickness.

A cubic Styrofoam cooler containing ice on a hot day is shown in the following figure. The thickness of each wall of the cooler is 15 mm, with a side length of 1 m. If it is 40°C outside, how long will 2 kg of ice last in the cooler? Assume that during the melting process, the temperature inside the cooler remains at 0°C and that no heat enters from the bottom of the cooler. Note that the latent heat of fusion for water is 334 kJ/kg and the thermal conductivity of Styrofoam is 0.033 W/mK.

If the intensity of sunlight measured at the Earth's surface is 1400 W/m² , what is the surface temperature of the Sun? Treat the Sun like a true blackbody. Note that the distance from the Earth to the Sun is 1.5 x 10¹¹ m and the radius of the Sun is 696 million meters.

300g of water at 40°C is in an insulated cup. What mass of copper at 500°C must be added to heat the water to 60°C?
