Chapter 11 Fluids Chapter 11 FLUIDS PREVIEW A fluid is any substance that flows, typically a liquid or a gas. Hydrostatics is the study of fluids at rest, such as the pressure of a fluid at a particular depth, or the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid. Archimedes principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object Hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion. As a fluid flows through a pipe, the flow rate through the cross section is the same at any point in the pipe. Bernoulli’s equation relates static pressure of a fluid to its dynamic (moving) pressure. The content contained in sections 1 – 4, 6 – 10, and 12 of chapter 11 of the textbook is included on the AP Physics B exam.

A fluid could be a gas or a liquid; however on the AP Physics B exam fluids are typically liquids which are constant in density. An ideal fluid is assumed 137 Chapter 11 Fluids to be incompressible (so that its density does not change), to flow at a steady rate, to be non-viscous (no friction between the fluid and the container through which it is flowing), and flows irrotationally (no swirls or eddies). Any fluid can exert a force perpendicular to its surface on the walls of its container. The force is described in terms of the pressure it exerts, or force per unit area: p F A 11.3 Pressure and Depth in a Static Fluid The SI unit for pressure is the Newton per meter squared, or the Pascal. Sometimes pressure is measured in atmospheres (atm). One atmosphere is the pressure exerted on us every day by the earth’s atmosphere. The relationship between one atmosphere and Pascals is 1 atm = 1.013 x 105 Pa This is approximately equal to 15 lbs/in2. In mechanics, it is often convenient to speak in terms of mass and force, whereas in fluids we often speak of density and pressure. A static (non-moving) fluid produces a pressure within itself due to its own weight. This pressure increases with depth below the surface of the fluid. Consider the containers of water with the surface exposed to the earth’s atmosphere. p1 p1 p1 h p2 h p2 h p2 The pressure p1 on the surface of the water is 1 atm, or 1.013 x 105 Pa. If we go down to a depth h below the surface, the pressure becomes greater by the product of the density of the water , the acceleration due to gravity g, and the depth h. Thus the pressure p2 at this depth is p2 p1 gh In this case, p2 is called the absolute pressure. The difference in pressure between the surface and the depth h is p2 p1 gh 138 Chapter 11 Fluids This difference in pressure is called the gauge pressure. Note that the pressure at any depth does not depend of the shape of the container, only the pressure at some reference level (like the surface) and the vertical distance below that level. 11.6 Archimedes Principle Archimedes principle allows us to calculate the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid. The buoyant force is the upward force exerted by the fluid on the object in the fluid, and is equal to the weight of the fluid which is displaced by the object. For example, if a floating object displaces one liter of water, the buoyant force acting on the object is equal to the weight of one liter of water, which is about 10 N. The buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid can be found by the equation Fbuoyant gV fluid displaced where is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and V is the volume of the displaced fluid. If the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the object, the object will float. Example 1 3m A large container of water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3 ) contains a thin, light plate at a depth of 3 m below the surface of the water. Neglect the mass and volume of the thin plate. The plate can be elevated by a jack without disturbing the water in the container. (a) What is the gauge pressure at the depth of the plate? (b) What is the absolute pressure at the depth of the plate? 139 Chapter 11 Fluids A solid aluminum cylinder (ρ = 2700 kg/m3 ) of radius 0.25 m and height 1 m is lowered by a cable in the water until half the cylinder is beneath the surface of the water where it remains at rest. (c) What is the tension in the cable? 3m (d) The cylinder is then lowered onto the light plate, and the cable is removed. Find the force exerted by the plate on the cylinder if the jack lifts the plate upward at i. a constant speed of 2 m/s ii. an acceleration of 1 m/s2. 3m Solution (a) p gauge gh 1000 kg / m3 10 m / s 2 3 m 3x10 4 Pa (b) p 2 p1 gh 1.013x10 5 Pa 1000 kg / m 3 10 m / s 2 3 m 1.313x10 5 Pa (c) The tension in the cable is equal to the weight of the cylinder minus the buoyant force acting on the cylinder.

Then FP gVdisplaced water mg ma mg Substituting, we get FP 3940 N 11.8 The Equation of Continuity Consider a fluid flowing through a tapered pipe: A1 A2 v1 v2 The area of the pipe on the left side is A1, and the speed of the fluid passing through A1 is v1. As the pipe tapers to a smaller area A2, the speed changes to v2. Since mass must be conserved, the mass of the fluid passing through A1 must be the same as the mass of the fluid passing through A2. If the density of the fluid is 1, and the density of the fluid at A2 is 2, the mass flow rate through A1 is 1A1v1, and the mass flow rate through A2 is 2A2v2. Thus, by conservation of mass, 1 A1 v1 = 2 A2 v2 This relationship is called the equation of continuity. If the density of the fluid is the same at all points in the pipe, the equation becomes A1 v1 = A2 v2 The product of area and the velocity of the fluid through the area is called the volume flow rate. 141 Chapter 11 Fluids 11.9 and 11.10 Bernoulli’s Equation and Applications of Bernoulli’s Equation Recall that in the absence of friction or other nonconservative forces, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant, that is, U1 + K1 = U2 + K2 mgy1 + ½ mv12 = mgy2 + ½ mv22 Bernoulli’s principle states that the total pressure of a fluid along any tube of flow remains constant. Consider a tube in which one end is at a height y1 and the other end is at a height y2: v2 v1 y1 y2 Let the pressure at y1 be p1 and the speed of the fluid be v1. Similarly, let the pressure at y2 be p2 and the speed of the fluid be v2. If the density of the fluid is , Bernoulli’s equation is p1 1 1 v1 2 gy1 p 2 v 2 2 gy 2 2 2 This equation states that the sum of the pressure at the surface of the tube, the dynamic pressure caused by the flow of the fluid, and the static pressure of the fluid due to its height above a reference level remains constant. Note that if we multiply Bernoulli’s equation by volume, it becomes a statement of conservation of energy. If a fluid moves through a horizontal pipe (y1 = y2), the equation becomes 1 1 p1 v1 2 p 2 v 2 2 2 2 This equation implies that the higher the pressure at a point in a fluid, the slower the speed, and vice-versa. The equation of continuity and Bernoulli’s principle are often used together to solve for the pressure and speed of a fluid, as the following review questions illustrate. 142 Chapter 11 Fluids CHAPTER 11 REVIEW QUESTIONS For each of the multiple choice questions below, choose the best answer.

The area of the wider portion of the pipe containing the point b has a cross-sectional area Ab = 7.80 x 10-3 m2 , and the narrower section of the pipe containing both points c and d has a cross-sectional area of Ac = 3.14 x 10-4 m2. Point C is at a height of y2 = 2 m above point d. A water valve closes the elevated container at point a, and thus there is initially only water in the upper container, and none in the pipe. The rectangular block in the lower container above has dimensions 10 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm and mass 0.075 kg, and it rests on the bottom of the lower container before any water enters the lower container. (a) If the pressure at the surface of the water is 1 atm, what is the absolute pressure at point a which is at a depth of y1 = 2 meters below the surface of the water in the tank? 145 Chapter 14 The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory The valve at point a is opened to create an opening equal to the area of the pipe containing the point b so that water flows from the elevated container through the pipe, and into the lower container.

A The scale will read the actual weight of the beaker, the water, and the ball, since the buoyant force is an internal force as far as the scale is concerned. Weight on scale = 10 N + 6 N = 16 N 5. A According to the equation of continuity, the speed of a fluid through a pipe is inversely proportional to the area of the pipe. Since 4A1 = 8A3, 8v1 = 4v3, or v3 = 2v1. 6. B According to Bernoulli’s principle, the higher the speed in a pipe, the lower the pressure of the fluid. Since v3 > v1 > v2, then p2 > p1 > p3. 7. D The lowest spout has the highest pressure since it is at the greatest depth. Thus, the lowest spout will project the water the farthest. 8. C The higher the speed of the air across the opening of a vertical pipe, the lower the pressure in the pipe. Thus, the water in the pipe on the right will rise to fill the space and the water in the pipe on the left will be lowered. 159 Chapter 14 The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory 9.

Because of the motion of the particles, an ideal gas has internal energy that can be transferred. We study gases by relating their pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature in the ideal gas law. The content contained in sections 1, 2, 3, and 5 of chapter 14 of the textbook is included on the AP Physics B exam.

Atomic mass units and kilograms are related by the conversion 1 u = 1.6605 x 10-27 kg, which is approximately the size of a proton. When we buy 12 eggs we say we have a dozen eggs, but if we have 6.022 x 1023 atoms, we say we have a mole of those atoms. In other words, a mole of a substance is Avogadro’s number (6.022 x 1023) of atoms or molecules of that substance. 14.2 The Ideal Gas Law All gases display similar behavior. When examining the behavior of gases under varying conditions of temperature and pressure, it is most convenient to treat them as ideal gases. An ideal gas represents a hypothetical gas whose molecules have no intermolecular forces, that is, they do not interact with each other, and occupy no volume. Although gases in reality deviate from this idealized behavior, at relatively low pressures and high temperatures many gases behave in nearly ideal fashion. Therefore, the assumptions used for ideal gases can be applied to real gases with reasonable accuracy. 162 Chapter 14 The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory The state of a gaseous sample is generally defined by four variables: pressure (p), volume (V), temperature (T), and number of moles (n), though as we shall see, these are not all independent. The pressure of a gas is the force per unit area that the atoms or molecules exert on the walls of the container through collisions. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equal to one newton per meter squared. Sometimes gas pressures are expressed in atmospheres (atm). One atmosphere is equal to 105 Pa, and is approximately equal to the pressure the earth’s atmosphere exerts on us each day. Volume can be expressed in liters (L) or cubic meters (m3), and temperature is measured in Kelvins (K) for the purpose of the gas laws. Recall that we can find the temperature in K by adding 273 to the temperature in Celsius. Gases are often discussed in terms of standard temperature and pressure (STP), which refers to the conditions of a temperature of 273 K (0C) and a pressure of 1 atm. These four variables are related to each other in the ideal gas law: PV nRT where R is a constant known as the universal gas constant = 8.31 J / (mol K). If the number of moles of a gas does not change during a process, then n and R are constants, and we can write the equation as the combined gas law: P1V1 P2V2 T1 T2 where a subscript of 1 indicates the state of the gas before something is changed, and the subscript 2 indicates the state of the gas after something is changed. Example 1 A F Fig. I Fig. II Fig. III A cylinder is closed at one end with a piston which can slide to change the closed volume of the cylinder. When the piston is at the end of the cylinder, as in Figure III, the volume of the cylinder is 1.0 liter. The area of the piston is 0.01 m2. The piston is positioned at half the length of the cylinder in Fig. I, and the cylinder is filled with an ideal gas. The force F necessary to hold the piston in this position is 10 N, and the temperature of the gas is 50˚ C. 163 Chapter 14 The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory (a) Determine the following for the gas in Fig. I: i. the volume of the gas ii. the pressure of the gas A force is applied to the piston so that it is now positioned at one-third the length of the cylinder from its closed end, but the temperature of the gas remains at 50˚ C.

A theoretical model to explain why gases behave the say they do was developed during the second half of the 19th century. The combined efforts of Boltzmann, Maxwell, and others led to the kinetic theory of gases, which gives us an understanding of gaseous behavior on a microscopic, molecular level. Like the gas laws, this theory was developed in reference to ideal gases, although it can be applied with reasonable accuracy to real gases as well. 164 Chapter 14 The Ideal Gas Law and Kinetic Theory The assumptions of the kinetic theory of gases are as follows: Gases are made up of particles whose volumes are negligible compared to the container volume. Gas atoms or molecules exhibit no intermolecular attractions or repulsions. Gas particles are in continuous, random motion, undergoing collisions with other particles and the container walls. Collisions between any two gas particles are elastic, meaning that no energy is dissipated and kinetic energy is conserved. The average kinetic energy of gas particles is proportional to the absolute (Kelvin) temperature of the gas, and is the same for all gases at a given temperature. As listed in the list of equations, the average kinetic energy of each molecule is related to Kelvin temperature T by the equation 3 K avg k BT , where kB is the Boltzmann constant, 1.38 x 10-23 J/K. The root-mean 2 3k B T square speed of each molecule can be found by v rms , where is the mass of each molecule. This equation is very seldom used on the AP Physics B exam, and is provided on the exam if needed. Example 2 The temperature of an ideal gas is 60˚ C.

Two of the laws that govern the flow of heat in or out of a system are called the first and second laws of thermodynamics. These laws relate to conservation of energy, the direction of heat flow from one system to another, and the amount of entropy (disorder) in a system. Often we analyze the energy transfer of a system using a pressure-volume (PV) diagram. The content contained in sections 1 – 5, 7 – 13 of chapter 15 of the textbook is included on the AP Physics B exam.

There are four laws of thermodynamics, of which two appear on the AP Physics B exam by name (1st and 2nd). However, the concepts involved in the other two (0th and 3rd) are important to the understanding of thermodynamics as well. The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two systems are in equilibrium, that is, they have the same temperature, there is no net heat flow between them. Further, if systems A and B are each in thermal equilibrium with system C, they must be in equilibrium with each other. 170 Chapter 15 Thermodynamics The third law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to reach a temperature of absolute zero. 15.3 The First Law of Thermodynamics As we’ve discussed in previous chapters, energy can be transformed in many forms, but is conserved, that is, the total amount of energy must remain constant. This is true of a system only if it is isolated. Since energy can neither go in nor go out, it has to be conserved. A system can exchange energy with its surroundings in two general ways: as heat or as work. The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in the internal energy ΔU of a system is equal to the heat Q added to the system plus the work W done ON the system: U = Q + W On the AP Physics B exam, if work is done ON a system, the system gains energy and W is positive. If work is done BY the system, the system loses energy and W is negative. This convention is consistent with the energy transfers you studied in earlier chapters. If you do work on an object, you do positive work on that object. If the object does work on something else, we say the object has done negative work. Note that in your textbook, W is defined as the work done ON, rather than BY the system, in which case the equation is written as U = Q – W, and the work done BY the system is considered positive. Regardless of which convention is used, if work is done ON a system, its energy would increase. If work is done BY the system, its energy would decrease. Work is generally associated with movement against some force. For ideal gas systems, for example, expansion against some external pressure means that work is done BY the system, while compression implies work being done ON the system. For example, if a system has 60 J of heat added to it, resulting in 20 J of work being done BY the system, the change in internal energy of the system is U = Q – W = 60 J – 20 J = 40 J. If 60 J of heat is added to a system AND work of 20 J is done ON the system, the internal energy of the system would increase all the more: Change in internal energy ΔU = Heat Q added + work W done ON the system = 60 J + 20 J = 80 J If heat is added to a system and no work is done, then the heat lost by one element in the system is equal to the heat gained by another element. For example, if sample of metal is heated and then dropped into a beaker containing water, then the first law implies Q lost by the metal = Q gained by the water 171 Chapter 15 Thermodynamics 15.4 - 15.5 Thermal Processes, and Thermal Processes That Utilize an Ideal Gas We can study the changes in pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas by plotting a graph of pressure vs. volume for a particular process. We call this graph a PV diagram. For example, let’s say that a gas starts out at a pressure of 4 atm and a volume of 2 liters, as shown by the point A in the PV diagram below: P(atm) A B 4 2 C V(liters) 2 4 If the pressure of the gas remains constant but the volume changes to 4 liters, then we trace a line from point A to point B. Since the pressure remains constant from A to B, we say that the process is isobaric. The if we decrease the pressure to 2 atm but keep the volume constant, we trace a line from B to C. This constant-volume process is isochoric, or isovolumetric. If we want the gas to return to its original state without changing temperature, we must trace a curve from point C to A along an isotherm. Note that an isotherm on a PV diagram is not a straight line. The work done during the process ABCA is the area enclosed by the graph, since W = PV. In this case the work done on the system is positive. Any process which is done without the transfer of heat is called an adiabatic process. Since there is no heat lost or gained in an adiabatic process, then the first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is simply equal to the work done on or by the system, that is, U = W. 172 Chapter 15 Thermodynamics The processes discussed above are summarized in the table below: Process Definition PV diagram P isobaric constant pressure V P isochoric constant volume V isothermal P constant temperature V adiabatic Example 1 no heat added or taken away (ΔU = W) P(x105 Pa) A B 8 C 4 E D V(m3) 2 4 Four separate processes (AB, AC, AD, and AE) are represented on the PV diagram above for an ideal gas. (a) Determine the work done by the gas during process AB. (b) Determine the work done on the gas during process AE. 173 Chapter 15 Thermodynamics (c) Is work done on the gas during any other process on the diagram? If so, identify which ones and explain how you know work is done.

(c) There is work done during processes AB, AC, and AD, since there is a change in volume in each of these processes. (d) i. Process AD is isothermal, since the pressure and change inversely proportionally, and the temperature remains constant. ii. Process AC could be adiabatic, since the pressure, volume, and temperature change, indicating that heat may not added or removed. (e) The heat lost during process AE is equal to the change in energy of the system during the process. Q P V 4 x10 5 Pa 8x10 5 Pa 2 m 3 8x10 5 J 15.7 The Second Law of Thermodynamics Entropy S is a measure of the disorder, or randomness, of a system. The greater the disorder of a system, the greater the entropy. If a system is highly ordered, like the particles in a solid, we say that the entropy is low. At any given temperature, a solid will have a lower entropy than a gas, because individual molecules in the gaseous state are moving randomly, while individual molecules in a solid are constrained in place. Entropy is important because it determines whether a process will occur spontaneously. The second law of thermodynamics states that all spontaneous processes proceeding in an isolated system lead to an increase in entropy. In other words, an isolated system will naturally pursue a state of higher disorder. If you watch a magician throw a deck of cards into the air, you would expect the cards to fall to the floor around him in a very disorderly manner, since the system of cards would naturally tend toward a state of higher disorder. If you watched a film of a magician, and his randomly placed cards jumped off the floor and landed neatly stacked in his hand, you would believe the film is running backward, since cards do not seek this state of order by themselves. Thus, the second law of thermodynamics gives us a direction for the passage of time. 174 Chapter 15 Thermodynamics 15.8 Heat Engines A heat engine is any device that uses heat to perform work. There are three essential features of a heat engine: Heat is supplied to the engine at a high temperature from a hot reservoir. Part of the input heat is used to perform work. The remainder of the input heat which did not do work is exhausted into a cold reservoir, which is at a lower temperature than the hot reservoir. Work Input Heat (High Temp Reservoir) Exhausted Heat (Low Temp Reservoir) In the diagram above, heat is used to do work in lifting the block which is sitting on the piston in the gas-filled cylinder. Any heat left over after work is done is exhausted into the low temperature reservoir. This diagram is used in Example 2 below. The percent efficiency % e of the heat engine is equal to the ratio of the work done to the amount of input heat: %e Work x 100 QHot Example 2 Fig. I Fig. II Fig III In the figures above, heat is added to the cylinder in Fig. I where the gas occupies half the total volume of the cylinder, raising it to the top of the cylinder in Fig. II. Heat is then removed and the block is lowered so that the gas occupies ¼ of the total volume of the cylinder. The total volume of the cylinder is 2 x 10-3 m3, and the area of the piston is 0.05 m2. The mass of the block is 2.0 kg. (a) If the block is at rest in Fig. I, determine the pressure of the gas in the cylinder. 175 Chapter 15 Thermodynamics (b) It is determined that the efficiency of this heat engine between Fig. I and Fig. II is 60%. How much heat was added to the cylinder in Fig. I to cause piston to rise to the level in Fig. II? (c) Is the process between Fig. I and Fig. II isothermal, isobaric, or isochoric? Explain. (d) If the temperature of the gas in Fig. I is 40º C, what is the temperature of the gas in Fig. II? (e) i. Between Figs. II and III,is the system acting as a heat engine or a refrigerator? Explain. ii. Determine the temperature of the gas in Fig. III Solution (a) The pressure the gas applies to the piston, block, and atmosphere is equal and opposite to the pressure the piston, block, and atmosphere apply to the gas. Neglecting the mass of the piston, we can write 2 kg 10 m / s 2 1x10 5 Pa 1.004 x10 5 Pa F mg P 1 atm 1 atm A A 0.05 m 2 (b) The work done in lifting the block is 1 W PV 1.004 x 10 5 Pa 2 x10 3 m 3 1.004 x10 2 J 2 This work done represents 60% of the heat input to the gas. Thus, W 1.004 x10 2 J Qinput 167.3J %e 0.60 and the heat exhausted is 167.3 J – 100.4 J = 66.9 J. (c) The process between Figs. I and II is isobaric, since the pressure the block and atmosphere apply to the piston and gas does not change during the process. (d) For constant pressure, volume and Kelvin temperature are proportional by the combined gas law.

In other words, there can be no dissipative forces, like friction, involved in the Carnot cycle of an engine for it to operate at maximum efficiency. All spontaneous processes, such as heat flowing from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir, are not reversible, since work would have to be done to force the heat back to the hot reservoir from the cold reservoir (a refrigerator), thus changing the environment by using some of its energy to do work. A reversible engine is called a Carnot engine. CHAPTER 15 REVIEW QUESTIONS For each of the multiple choice questions below, choose the best answer. 1.

Chapter 12 TEMPERATURE AND HEAT 151 Chapter 12 Temperature and Heat PREVIEW The total internal energy of the molecules of a substance is called thermal energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the substance, and gives an indication of how hot or cold the substance is relative to some standard. The energy transferred between two substances because of a temperature difference is called heat. Many substances expand when heated. The content contained in sections 1, 2, 4, 6 – 8, and 11 (not including volume expansion) of chapter 12 of the textbook is included on the AP Physics B exam. QUICK REFERENCE Important Terms absolute zero the lowest possible temperature, at which all molecular motion would cease and a gas would have no volume. calorie the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one Celsius degree Celsius (C) temperature scale in which the freezing point of water is 0 and the boiling point of water is 100 . heat the energy which is transferred from one body to another because of a temperature difference Kelvin (absolute) temperature scale scale in which zero Kelvins is defined as absolute zero, the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases temperature the property of a body which indicates how hot or cold a substance is with respect to a standard thermal energy the sum of the internal potential and kinetic energy of the random motion of the molecules making up an object thermal equilibrium state between two or more objects in which temperature doesn’t change thermal expansion increase in length or volume of a material due to an increase in temperature 152 Chapter 12 Temperature and Heat Equations and Symbols TK TC 273.15 where L Lo T TK = Kelvin temperature TC = Celsius temperature ΔT = change in temperature ΔL = change in length Lo = initial length α = coefficient of linear expansion Ten Homework Problems Chapter 12 Conceptual Questions 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, Problems 9, 14, 17, 19, 21 DISCUSSION OF SELECTED SECTIONS 12.1 and 12.2 Common Temperature Scales and The Kelvin Temperature Scale Temperature is the measure of how hot or cold a substance is relative to some standard. It is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. The two temperature scales used most widely in scientific applications is the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale. The only difference between them is where each starts. On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0 C, and the boiling point of water (at standard pressure) is 100 C. The Kelvin scale has temperature units which are equal in size to the Celsius degrees, but the temperature of 0 Kelvin is absolute zero, defined as the temperature at which all molecular motion in a substance ceases. Zero Kelvin is equal to - 273.15 C, so we can convert between the Kelvin scale and the Celsius scale by the equation TK = TC + 273 Note that we have rounded 273.15 to 273. The boiling point of water in Kelvins would be TK = 100 C + 273 = 373 K. 12.4 Linear Thermal Expansion When a solid is heated, it typically expands. Different substances expand at different rates, which is why you might heat the lid of a jar when the lid is too tight. The metal lid will expand more than the glass jar when it is heated, making it easier to loosen. Solids undergo two types of expansion when heated: linear thermal expansion, which is the increase in any one dimension of the solid, and volume thermal expansion, which results in an increase in the volume of the solid. Volume expansion is not typically covered on 153 Chapter 12 Temperature and Heat the AP Physics B exam. In the case of linear expansion, the change in length L is proportional to the original length Lo and the change in temperature T of the solid: L Lo T where is the coefficient of linear expansion. Example 1 The ends of a copper bar and a steel bar, each of length 0.20 m, are separated by a gap of 0.50 mm, as shown. The other ends of the bars are attached to a rigid frame which does not expand significantly when heated. If the two bars are heated from 0 C to 100 C, determine whether or not the bars will come into contact with each other. Gap Figure not drawn to scale Solution Since the frame is rigidly attached to the floor, we can assume the expansion of each bar is toward the other bar. Finding the change in length of each bar: Copper: L Lo T 17 x 10 6 C 1 0.20 m 100C 0C 3.4 x 10 4 m Steel: L Lo T 12 x 10 6 C 1 0.20 m 100C 0C 2.4 x 10 4 m Adding the two changes in length, we get 5.8 x 10-4 m = 0.58 mm. Thus the 0.50 mm gap will close and the bars will come into contact with each other. 12.6 Heat and Internal Energy In any state of matter, the molecules are moving and therefore have energy. They have potential energy because of the bonds between them and kinetic energy because the molecules have mass and speed. The sum of the potential and kinetic energies of the molecules in a substance is called the internal energy of the substance. When a warmer substance is brought in contact with a cooler substance, some of the kinetic energy of the molecules in the warmer substance is transferred to the cooler substance. The energy representing the kinetic energy of molecules that is transferred spontaneously from a warmer substance to a cooler substance is called heat energy. Heat is generally given the symbol Q, and, since it is a form of energy, is measured in Joules (J) or calories (cal). 154 Chapter 12 Temperature and Heat CHAPTER 12 REVIEW QUESTIONS For each of the multiple choice questions below, choose the best answer. 1.
