A steel rod at 25°C is observed to be 1m long when measured by another metal scale which is correct at 0°C .The exact length of steel rod at 0°C is
( α steel )=12×10^(-6)/°C
(α metal )=20×10^(-6)/°C)
Ans:1.0002m

explain zeroth law of thermodynamics.

300k temperature change in Celsius.

A standard electric kettle uses 2000 Watts of electrical power. Power is defined as the energy transfer per unit time interval. Assuming that all the energy from the kettle is transferred to the water, determine how long a kettle should be switched on to bring 750 ml of water from standard room temperature to the boiling point,when Standard room temperature is 21° C and the boiling point of water is 99° C.

Determine how much heat is required to bring 750 ml of water from standard room temperature to the boiling point when Standard room temperature is 21° C and the boiling point of water is 99° C.

Standard room temperature is 21° C and the boiling point of water in Pretoria is 99° C. Explain why the boiling point it is not exactly 100° C?

The mass density, ρ, is defined by:

Write down the value for the specific heat capacity of water, c, as well as the mass density of water, ρ.

How to write down the equation for determining the heat, Q, transferred to a substance, in terms of the change in temperature, ΔT, the specific heat capacity, c, and the mass of the substance, m.
