A 150 kg steel rod in a building under construction supports a load of 6050 kg. During the day, the rod’s temperature increases from 22°C to 47°C. This temperature increase causes the rod to thermally expand and raise the load 5.5 mm. a. Find the energy transferred as heat to or from the rod. (Hint: Assume the specific heat capacity of steel is the same as for iron.)

b. Find the work done in this process. Is work done on or by the rod?

c. How great is the change in the rod’s internal energy? Does the rod’s internal energy increase or decrease?

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Nacidified solution was electrolyzed using copper electrodes. a constant current of 1.18 a caused the anode to lose 0.584 g after 1.52 ✕ 103 s. given that the charge of an electron is 1.6022 ✕ 10−19 c, calculate avogadro's number. assume that copper is oxidized to cu2+ ions.
