A liquid thermometer can be used to test for fevers. When body temperature increases, the liquid inside the thermometer expands and rises to show a higher
temperature reading. Which of the following explanations best describes the changes in thermal energy of the
particles during this specific example of heat transfer?
A. The tip of the thermometer is heated by radiation from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
B. The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction from the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by convection through the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to slow
down, rise, and expand.
© C. The tip of the thermometer is heated by convection with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then conduct heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand
© D The tip of the thermometer is heated by conduction with the person's body. The particles of the thermometer tip then transfer heat
by conduction with the liquid inside of it. The particles inside the liquid then convect heat causing the warmer particles to speed up,
rise, and expand

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
