Physics 151 Class Exercise: Temperature & Thermal Expansion. 1. Temperature Systems (a) Complete the following temperature reference chart using. (b) The Rankine temperature scale is based on the same degree size as the Fahrenheit scale yet starts (has zero) at absolute zero.
1.2 – Temperature Scales and Thermal Expansion - Worksheet. 1. A 1.00 x 104 meter steel railroad track with a coefficient of linear expansion of 12 x 10-6 per degree Celsius changes temperature from 18°C to 38°C. By how many meters will the railroad tracks expand?
What is thermal expansion? Answer: Thermal expansion refers to the tendency of matter to change its volume in response to a change in temperature. How does thermal expansion affect the density of a substance?
An aluminum can is filled to the brim with a liquid. The can and the liquid are heated so their temperatures change by the same amount. The can’s initial volume at 15 oC is 4.5×10 -4 m3. The coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is 69×10-6 oC -1.
A liquid in glass thermometer uses the thermal expansion of a liquid to measure temperature. The scale is calibrated to read the temperature as a function of the volume of the liquid.
Thermal Expansion Worksheet. Introduction to Physics. ∆L = αLO ∆T ∆A = (2α)AO ∆T ∆V = βVO ∆T. 1. Most bridges contain interlocking steel grates (α steel = 1.2 x 10 - 5 o C -1) that allow the bridge to expand and contract with the changes in temperature.
