Final Exam Answers

1.  P.E. = mgh             P.E. = (10. kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(80. m) = 7.8 E 3 J

2.  does not conduct electricity, cold, sublimates to smother, no water damage for cleanup

3. 8.3 m/s^2

4. 6.02 E 24 mlcl CO2

5. The freedom with which the electrons move about in the metal allows the heat to be dispersed throughout the metal.  The wood is made up of nonmetals and other organic molecules that hold on to their electrons much more strongly (high electronegativity)

6. K.E. = 1/2mv^2           answer = 1.10 E -2 J

7.  Na2CO3      fm= 106 g

8.  Materials used as the liquid must expand the same amount for the same change in temperature every time over as large a range as possible.  Otherwise the numbers and markings on the thermometer would needed to be at different distances apart.
