Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 23ICA
If an object is heated, the temperature of the body will increase. The energy (Q) associated with a change in temperature (ΔT) is a function of the mass of the object (m) and the specific heat(Cp). In an experiment, heat is applied to the end of an object, and the temperature change at the other end of the object is recorded. This leads to the following equation.
An unknown material with a mass of = kilograms is tested in the lab, yielding the following results. Use the polyfit function to determine the specific heat of this material and store the final result in the variable Cp.
Create a proper plot of the data. Add a linear trendline, showing the resulting trend line equation, on the graph for a change in temperature over a range of energy from 5 joules to 70 joules.

- QUESTION 2 Thermocouples are devices used to measure temperature of a given sample or the surrounding medium. These devices feature a "bead", which has a spherical shape, and produces voltage upon change in temperature. For an engineering application at a pharmaceutical company, thermocouple devices are being tested for their responsiveness, i.e. how fast it can detect temperature changes in the environment (surrounding air). The engineers at this company have specified design constraints for an ideal thermocouple: it must detect temperature changes no later than 1.5 minute, and the reported temperature value must be reasonably correct: at most %3 difference between measured and actual temperature values is allowed. Four thermocouples from different vendors are being tested. Relevant properties of these devices are listed below: Thermal conductivity Density 36 W/m*K 36 W/m*K 42 W/m*K 33 W/m*K Specific Heat 140 kJ/kg*K 120 kJ/kg*K 150 kJ/kg*K 160 kJ/kg*K Device Bead Diameter…arrow_forwardAt time t = 0, an RC circuit consists of a 15.0-V emf device, a 66.0-0 resistor, and a 146.0-pF capacitor that is fully charged.
