Q15 Is it possible for a solid metal ball to float in mercury?

Q16 A rectangular metal block is suspended by a string in a breaker of water so that the block is completely surrounded by water. Is the water pressure at the bottom of the block equal to, greater than, or less than the water pressure at the top of the block?

The upward force is the weight of liquid displaced and the downward force is the weight of the ball. If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the ball it will float.

The pressure is ρgh so the pressure is higher at the bottom. The difference in pressure provides the upward force on the block

Q19 A large bird lands on a rowboat that is floating in a swimming pool. Will the water level in the pool increase, decrease, or remain the same when the bird lands on the boat?

Q20 A rowboat is floating in a swimming pool when the anchor is dropped over the side. When the anchor is dropped, will the water level in the swimming pool increase, decrease, or remain the same?

The buoyant force is the weight of liquid displaced so to support a larger weight more liquid is displaced and the level rises

When the anchor is in the boat it’s whole weight is supported and the amount of water displaced balances that weight. When it is thrown overboard it sinks and only displaces it’s volume so the water level falls

Q1 Is an object that has a temperature of 0 C hotter than, colder than, or at the same temperature as one that has a temperature of 0 F?

Q2 Which spans a greater range in temperature, a change in temperature of 10 Fahrenheit degrees or a change of 10 Celsius degrees?

Water freezes at 0o C and 32o F so 0o F is colder

There is 100o C between water freezing and boiling and 180o F so 1oC = 1.8oF so a change of 10oC is larger

Q21 An ideal gas is compressed without allowing any heat to flow into or out of the gas. Will the temperature of the gas increase, decrease, or remain the same in this process?

Q25 Heat is added to a hot-air balloon causing the air to expand. Will this increased volume of air cause the balloon to fall?

Q27 A block of wood and a block of metal have been sitting on a table for a long time. The block of metal feels colder to the touch than the block of wood. Does this mean that the metal is actually at a lower temperature than the wood?

Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of liquid displaced. So if the balloon stays the same size and as the air expands it leaves the balloon it will rise faster because the weight of the air inside will be less. If no air escapes but the balloon increases in size it will also rise because the buoyant force is larger

No. What you feel is heat flow and the thermal conductivity of metal is much bigger than that of wood. This is also why you feel much colder when the air is damp and why trapped dry air in fiberglass is used for insulation. It is also because room temperature is lower than body temperature

Q11 A dead battery will still indicate a voltage when a good voltmeter is connected across the terminals. Can the battery still be used to light a bulb?

Q12 When a battery is being used in a circuit, will the voltage across its terminals be less than that measured when there is no current being drawn from the battery? Explain.

A battery has internal resistance so although one can measure an open circuit voltage when connected to a circuit the voltage will drop and the current flow will be very low.

The voltage will be less because of the voltage drop due to the internal resistance

Q22 If the current through a certain resistance is doubled, does the power dissipated in that resistor also double?

Q23 Does the power being delivered by a battery depend on the resistance of the circuit connected to the battery?

Power is the rate at which energy is used. Your electrical bill is for the total energy you use.

b) V = IR, I = V/R = 1.5/30 = 0.05 ANotice that total current, It, through the battery is the sum ofcurrents through each bulb.

It = 3(I) = 1.5 A

c) Brightness of remaining two bulbs do not change. Instead, load on the battery is reduced. Each remaining bulb still feels 1.5 V.So, each remaining bulb still draws 0.05 A of current. Since,P=IV, each remaining bulb still outputs same power. This is benefit of hooking circuits in parallel.

Q6 If we regard the earth as magnet, does its magnetic north pole coincide with its geographical north pole? What defines the position of the geographical north pole?

Q7 We visualized the magnetic field of the earth by imagining that there is a bar magnet inside the earth (fig. 14.7). Why did we draw this magnet with its south pole pointing north?

The geographical north pole is defined by the axis of rotation. The magnetic north pole is determined by the currents and fields in the iron core of the earth. About every 250,000 years the field of the earth reverese.

The definition of the North pole is the point at which the North pole of a magnet would point. This means the North pole is a physical magnetic south pole.

Q24 A horizontal loop of wire has a magnetic field passing upward through the plane of the loop. If this magnetic field increases with time, is the direction of the induced current clockwise or counterclockwise (viewed from above) as predicted by Lenz’s law?

The current induced produces a magnetic field that opposes the increase so the induced magnetic field points down so the current must be clockwise viewed from above.

Q25 Two coils of wire are identical except that coil A has twice as many turns of wire as coil B. If a magnetic field increases with time at the same rate through both coils, which coil (if either) has the larger induced voltage?

The flux in A is twice that in B so the induced voltage is twice as large.

Q28 Does a simple generator produce a steady direct current? No. As the coil turns at constant angular velocity the rate of change of flux depends on the angle of the coil to the field so the current is AC

Q4 Is it possible for atoms of the same chemical element to have different chemical properties?

Q5 Which number, the mass number or the atomic number, determines the chemical properties of an element?

Q7 In a nuclear reaction, can the total mass of the products of the reaction be less than the total mass of the reactants?

No the chemical properties are determined by the electrons

The atomic number gives the number of electrons

Yes. E = mc2 and mass can be turned into energy

Q13 In a time equal to two half-lives of a radioactive isotope, would you expect all of that isotope to have decayed?

Q15 Chemical reactions and nuclear reactions can both release energy. On the average, would you expect the energy released per unit of mass in a chemical reaction to be greater than, equal to, or less than what is released in nuclear reaction?

NO. In one half life ½ decay so in two half lives ¼ would be left

Chemical reactions involve changes in the electron energy levels and these are very low energy compared to nuclear reactions

Q17 Suppose that you light a match to a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen, which then reacts explosively to form water. Is this a chemical reaction or a nuclear reaction?

Q18 The most common isotope of uranium is uranium-238. Is this the isotope that is most likely to undergo fission?

It is a chemical reaction in which two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom join.

NO U235

Q22 If you wanted to slow down the chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, would you remove or insert the control rods?

Q28 How does nuclear fusion differ from nuclear fission?

Insert

Fission is breaking a very heavy element into two lighter elementsFusion is joining two very light elements into on heavier elementBoth produce energy. Fusion produces the most and is cleaner but much more difficult

Q29 Is nuclear fission the main process involved in the energy generated in the sun?

Q31 Which can produce larger yields of energy, a fission weapon or a fusion weapon?

No, the process is fusion.

A fusion weapon. The original bomb was a fission bomb. The hydrogen bomb uses a fission bomb to trigger a fusion bomb.
