    The document summarizes four problems related to thermal physics: 1) Deriving an equation for the percentage change in the period of a pendulum due to thermal expansion. 2) Converting between an old temperature scale (Z scale) and the Fahrenheit scale. 3) Calculating the energy in kilowatt-hours provided by digesting a chocolate bar and how long that would power a light bulb. 4) Calculating the final temperature when a hot copper bolt is added to a beaker of water.

    Heat and Thermal Expansion Worksheet


    1. The period τ of a pendulum is given by the function:

    l
    τ =2 π
    √ g

    where l is a function of temperature (due to the properties of thermal expansion).

    By calculating the rate of change of τ with respect to l, derive an equation which gives the
    percentage change in the period of a pendulum in terms of the thermal expansion of the length of
    the pendulum.

    2. Suppose you found some old scientific notes that describe an old temperature scale called Z on
    which the boiling point of water is 65oZ and the freezing point is −14oZ.

    What temperature change ∆T would correspond to a change of 35oF?


    To what temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would a temperature T = −98oZ correspond?

    3. A chocolate bar has a nutritional value of 350 Cal.


    How many kilowatt-hours of energy will it deliver to the body as it is digested?
    How long would this amount of energy keep a 100 W light bulb burning for?

    4. A copper bolt whose mass, mc, is 75 g is heated in a laboratory oven to a temperature of 312oC.
    The bolt is then dropped into a glass beaker containing a mass mw = 220 g of water. The heat
    capacity Cb of the beaker is 45 cal K−1. The initial temperature of the water is 12oC.

    What is the final temperature Tf of the copper bolt, the beaker and the water when thermal
    equilibrium is reached?
