    (215) How many British thermal units (BTU) does it take to raise the temperature of 5 pounds of water 5ï‚° Fahrenheit (F)?

    • A.

      1

    • B.

      5

    • C.

      17

    • D.

      25

    Correct Answer
    D. 25
    Explanation
    To calculate the number of British thermal units (BTU) required to raise the temperature of water, we need to use the specific heat capacity of water. The specific heat capacity of water is 1 BTU/lb.°F. In this case, we have 5 pounds of water and we need to raise the temperature by 5°F. Therefore, the calculation would be 5 pounds * 5°F * 1 BTU/lb.°F = 25 BTU. Thus, it takes 25 BTU to raise the temperature of 5 pounds of water by 5°F.

      Volume will increase.

    • B.

      Volume will decrease.

    • C.

      Temperature will decrease.

    • D.

      Temperature will not change.

    Correct Answer
    B. Volume will decrease.
    Explanation
    When gas is trapped in a cylinder and pressure is applied to the piston, while the temperature remains constant, the volume of the gas will decrease. This is because according to Boyle's Law, when the temperature of a gas remains constant, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Therefore, an increase in pressure will result in a decrease in volume.

    • C.

      Decrease.

    • D.

      Increase.

    Correct Answer
    D. Increase.
    Explanation
    When a gas is heated, the average kinetic energy of its particles increases. This increase in kinetic energy leads to more frequent and forceful collisions between the gas particles and the walls of the container. As a result, the gas exerts a greater force on the walls, causing an increase in pressure. Therefore, when a gas is heated, its pressure will increase.

    • D.

      Less than the smallest resistance in the circuit.

    Correct Answer
    D. Less than the smallest resistance in the circuit.
    Explanation
    In a parallel circuit, the total resistance is always less than the smallest resistance in the circuit. This is because in a parallel circuit, the current has multiple paths to flow through. As a result, the total resistance decreases as more paths are added, making it easier for the current to flow. The smallest resistance offers the easiest path for the current, so the total resistance will be less than that value.

      Divide current flow by the applied voltage.

    • C.

      Add the total resistance of the parallel part to the total resistance of the series part.

    • D.

      Add the sum of the resistance in the parallel part to the resistance of the series resistor.

    Correct Answer
    C. Add the total resistance of the parallel part to the total resistance of the series part.
    Explanation
    To find the total resistance in a series-parallel circuit, you need to add the total resistance of the parallel part to the total resistance of the series part. This is because in a series-parallel circuit, the resistors are connected both in series and in parallel. When resistors are connected in series, their resistances add up, while when they are connected in parallel, their resistances combine using the reciprocal formula. Therefore, to find the total resistance, you need to consider both the series and parallel resistances and add them together.
