Questions

What is the difference between evaporating and boiling?

Boiling is rapid evaporation anywhere in the bulk liquid and at a fixed temperature called the boiling point and requires continuous addition of heat.
The rate of boiling is limited by the rate of heat transfer into the liquid.
Evaporation takes place more slowly than boiling at any temperature between the melting point and boiling point, and only from the surface, and results in the liquid becoming cooler due to loss of higher kinetic energy particles.

Questions

Why do solids keep their shape and why don't liquids and gases ?

As solids have a tightly packed formation and cannot move around and there is very strong bonds between particles, where as liquids and gases don't have a regular formation and can move around, so they are able to change shape.
Why do solids and liquids have a fixed volume but gases can spread out to fill their container?

As gases have no attracting forces between the particles and no fixed shape or volume, where as solids and liquids do have stronger bonds between particles and solids have a fixed shape and both have a fixed volume.

5.6 Questions

Image001

Collins, p.107

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC88F0.11386960]

Note: ρfresh water = 1,000kg/m3; g = 10N/kg

Q5: Pressure difference = height x density x strength of gravitational field P = hxpxg
150 = h x 1000 x 10
h = 15m if he was in seawater he would be slightly less then 15m under sea level Q6: Pressure difference = height x density x strength of gravitational field P = hxpxg
increase in pressure = 24.4 kPa the total pressure = 189.4 kPa

5.6

Correction as follows...


· 5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

pressure difference = height × density × g
∆p = h × ρ × g


∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)
h = height of the fluid (m)
ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3)
g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

5.6 Demo - squirting water column

Image001

[cid:image001.jpg@01CC88EF.74EC5B70]
· The bottom hole squirts water the furthest
· Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure
· Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large
· So ∆p = large

5.6

· 5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

pressure difference = height × density × g

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)

h = height of the fluid (m)

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m2)

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

5.4 Starter 2 explained


· Your finger pushes on the pin and the pin pushes back on your finger
· N3L tells us that all these two forces are equal in size
· The pin pushes on the wall and the wall pushes back on the pin
· N3L tells us that all these two forces are also equal in size
· If the surface area is large then the force is spread over a large area and the pressure is low
· If the surface area is small then the force is spread over a small area and the pressure is high
· You would like the pressure on your finger to be low and the pressure on the wall to be high
· The other way round is painful!

wood in oil- depends on what sample of material you have Wood in mercury- wood will float
plastic in oil -platic will sink
steel in mercury - steel will float
silver in air- silver will sink
gold in mercury - gold will sink
helium ballon in air- will float

3. gold is more dense than silver so if the crown is pure gold the m= 1930 v= ?
Density = 19.3
Density = m/v
v= m/d
v = 1930 / 19.3
V= 100 if it is pure gold if it is less than pure gold the volume will be higher

5.2 Plenary Answer

· If you take a piece of wood that's got a density of 2.4g/cm3 and cut it exactly in half, what will the density of each of the 2 new pieces of wood be?


· 2.4g/cm3!
· You've halved the mass of each block but you've also halved the volume of each block, so the ratio m/V remains contant!
· For example…
· ρbig block = m/V = 240/100 = 2.4g/cm3
· ρsmall block = m/V = 120/50 = 2.4g/cm3

Review of test

Corrections:

1. Explain how an extra blanket blanket on your bed reduces the heat transfer from your body to your bedroom: Traps air, reduces conduction, blanket insulator

2. A disadvantage of burning wood instead of coal in a power station is that alot of land is lost, animals lose their habitat

3. three non-renewable sources that are used to produce electricity in power stations are nuclear, oil, and natural gas

4. a device that turns sound energy to electrical energy is a microphone

5. TOTAL energy at the start is equal to the TOTAL energy at the end

6. Force is measured in newtons
7. when cycling some energy is transferred to heat in the body and friction
