Thermodynamic temperature

For the second part of this week’s lab, I made a quick trip to the small local hardware store to purchase a galvanized nail and small piece of copper wire. My grand total was very affordable at 20 cents. 1. One large orange 2. One 2-inch-long galvanized nail 3. 2-inch-long copper wire 4. String of holiday Christmas lights 5. Needle nose pliers Procedure To start this lab experiment, I gathered all the supplies needed and placed them onto my kitchen counter (see picture). First, I took the…

These tasks are essential for your home’s appeal, function, and value, but you may not be placing enough emphasis on your plumbing. Considering the average lifespan of a traditional water heater is about 10 years, you may need a complete replacement. Fortunately, replacing with a tankless model offers numerous benefits. Energy…

The issue with sleeping is that quiet environment is necessary. In the story “Park bench vacation” by Italo Calvino, the main character Marcovaldo also chose the wrong to sleep. There is not a forest close to his apartment, so he decides to sleep in a park for the night in order to experience serenity. Unfortunately, the bench on which he wants to sleep is occupied by a couple of lovers. After a while, he can lie down on the bench, but the light of a traffic light, the noise made by a team of…

The Effect of Temperatures on Rate of Reaction of Alka-Seltzer Introduction: A. Background This particular experiment consists of a purpose of finding out the effect of various temperatures on the rate of reaction of the Alka-Seltzer tablets. Alka-Seltzer is a medical drug that acts as a pain reliever or an antacid, which helps neutralize stomach acidity, such as heartburn. Alka-Seltzer is a form of a baking soda which is also known as sodium bicarbonate, (NaHCO₃). When sodium bicarbonate…

Endothermy has a lot of benefits and costs compared to ectotherms. Endotherms depend on their bodies metabolism to produce enough heat to raise their body temperature. Endotherms balance heat production with heat loss. Each endotherm has a range of environmental temperatures that keeps its body stable and it does this by regulating the heat loss and heat production. They regulate their body heat by vaping their metabolic rate and change its rate of heat loss by adjusting their insulation.…

Jack Shumski Professor Verdecia Fire Technology 102 20 November 2017 Physical Principle of a Catapult to The Fire Service A catapult does many different things that relate to different physical principles. The big physical principle of the catapult is it uses Newton's first, second and third law. In fact, also all three of Newton's law can relate a lot to the fire service and how it operates. This essay will relate the physical principle of the catapult, to Newton's laws and how it relates to…

Crucible Essay By definition, a crucible is a ceramic or metal container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures. Everybody faces crucibles everyday in their life in which they are faced with a decision they have to make. One day this could be a minor crucible and another could be a major crucible. On April 19, 2017, Good Friday,I faced the biggest crucible so far. It turned out this Good Friday was the worst Friday of my life. Like any other…

In Greek, this is an onomatopoetic word. This means it’s a word that imitates the sounds associated with the objects or actions it refers to (like the word buzz in English sounds like the sound a bee makes when he is flying around). The word zeloo imitates the sound of boiling water, and it literally means to bubble over because it’s so hot! In a positive sense, zeloo is to be zealous in the pursuit of good, to desire earnestly, to strive after, to pursue, to be eager to possess. In the…

Electrical properties Figure. 8 shows the temperature dependence of resistivity of the Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes. As seen, the data reveal a semiconductor behavior where the resistivity decreases with the increases of temperature. The decrease of the electrical resistivity with increase of temperature is resulted from the increase of the charge carriers that can overcome the energy barrier and participate in the electrical conduction where in metal complexes, the metal…
