Do Heated Objects Affect Time and Temperature Perceptions?

[sheri1987]

Homework Statement

Answer True or False?

When the pendulum of a grandfather clock is heated, the clock runs more slowly. FALSE

Cold objects do not radiate heat energy. TRUE

In a bimetallic strip of brass and copper which curls when heated, the brass is on the inside of the curve. TRUE

A copper plate has a hole cut in its center. When the plate is heated, the hole gets smaller. FALSE

When the Celsius temperature doubles, the Fahrenheit temperature doubles. FALSE

When heat is added to a system, the temperature must rise. FALSE

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I thought the answer was false, true, true, false, false, false...but it isn't right. Any suggestions?

A longer pendulum takes longer to swing. Imagine how long a 100m cable hanging from a crane takes compared to a clock pendulum.

Objects at absolute zero don't emit heat. How cold does cold mean?

Expansivity Copper 16.5 (m/m.K x 10-6) Brass 18.7 (m/m.K x 10-6)
Which one expands more, which side of a curve gets longer?

Do metals expand or contract when heated?

Correct - Celcius and Fahrenheit don't have the same zero point.

If it is an isolated system so that heat can't escape.
Temperature is a measure of the average energy of the molecules, so if heat is added what happens to the energy?

Hi there,

Your answers are mostly correct, except for the last one. The statement "When heat is added to a system, the temperature must rise" is actually true. This is because heat is a form of energy and when it is added to a system, it increases the internal energy of the system, which in turn increases the temperature. So the correct answer would be TRUE for this statement.

Hope this helps!
