Virtual lab on chapters 13 and 14

 

For all virtual labs, submit a written report including the following specific paragraph headings

 

1. Requirement, 2. Observations, 3. Principle, etc, being demonstrated, 4. Observations, 5. Calculations, 6. Answer

 

Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Theory

Physlets Chapter 20

 

Problem 20.5: Ideal Gas Law Analysis

Note: Observe the changes in P and V

 

Chapter 14: Heat

Physlets Chapter 19

 

Problem 19.1: Specific Heat, Work, Energy

The squares are 1 meter on a side and 0.1 meter deep.

This is an example of the mechanical equivalent of heat. Joule determined that a given amount of work was equivalent to a particular amount of heat input.

 

Problem 19.3: Thermal Expansion

Note that the rod expands in both directions and you are measuring for one end - must double this.

 

Problem 19.6: Specific Heat and Latent Heat of Fusion

Note: For t = 3.1 to 12.6, T = 597 K.

From t = 0 to t = 3.1, delta T = 57
