"Scream for me PRESS PLAY ON TAPE!"
Join Auntie Anna live from sunny Kilburn, London for 3.09 hours of retro micro computer jolly fun and owl based chat on SLAY Radio (the home of Commodore 64* remixes.
This week she brings you an exclusive new track from PRESS PLAY ON TAPE from their upcoming sparkling new album "HOME COMPUTER". (released on the 12th of May 2012) – Hot Dog! Hurrah! Get down to that Commodore 64 Revival Rock! The band listen in live during rehearsals live from Denmark (almost)!
There is more news of the Imperica Horizons ZX Spectrum 30th Anniversary events in London this coming weekend. Anna is making a Speccy hat. We also chat about Anna's archiving of a collection of Basicode tapes which she has rescued from the Grodan – it's "Esperanto for Computers" chaps! Listen intently to the dulcet tones of BBC cira 1984 across the crackly air waves. She also has a brain wave live on air. There are dangerous scientific-type experiments a'coming! We also chat about how home baking is killing Hovis.
Also many more jolliest micro retro tunes, and new releases from remix.kwed.org , and of course your online requests from the request bucket. Anna also continues the very first remix.kwed.org remix count down up (RCDU ™) playing every C64 remix tune ever released from 2000-2012.
There is of course the usual owl based fun, mouse organ and kazoo jazz styleeeee, mass shout out to listeners from IRC, Twitter, Facebook, and igloo. She also speed read performs the rather rallying passenger/pilot call-type-surreal introduction from Commodore's Introduction to Basic (part 1) to the tune of Rune-Bertil's Monty on the Rocks.

Snyder leads Bernero in latest poll
By Zoe Clark
A new poll shows Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder leading Democrat Virg Bernero.
The EPIC-MRA poll, released yesterday, showed 51% of voters favored Snyder, 29% backed Bernero. Interestingly enough, with 10 weeks to go before the November 2nd election, 1 in 5 voters say they are still undecided.
Snyder spent $2.3 million on TV ads before the Aug. 3 primary. He's now better known and more favorably regarded by voters than the Lansing mayor.

I want to upgrade my NV+ from 1TB to 2TB drives & am having difficulty deciding which drives to use from the limted list of approved drives. Some are just too expensive, others, like the Seagate's, appear to have drive failure problems. There are no Samsung drives unfortunately (my 1TB drives have been v reliable).
I was considering the WD20EARS but I read about an issue regarding LLC that may mean the drive life is compromised - can someone please tell me if these drives are reliable and can be used without having to modify the firmware?
Netgear, please consider adding more drives to your list - when 2TB drives can be bought for about £50 it seems odd that half your approved drives cost £100+!

Just wanted to let you all know that the first Ziltoid track will enter testing very shortly.
Devin really outdid himself with the Rock Band exclusive version of ZTO.
Everything from making your characters fart, to your onscreen characters being taken over by Ziltoid and proclaiming they like to eat poop, screams and pyrotechnics.
Not to mention Ziltoid belittling you (the player) and Rock Band in general.
I was blown away by how out of the box this track is, and we hope you guys are going to get a big kick out of it when it releases!

Snail Search
Get out in your garden to help scientists find alien snails!
Find out if you have 'aliens' living in your backyard, by taking part in this environmental study to search for snails across Britain. Anyone can take part!
Use our snail guide to get searching...
The harmless 'alien' snail is not from outer space. Scientists call it an 'alien' because it has not always lived in Britain. It comes from the Mediterranean. It's commonly found in countries like Spain and Italy. It was first spotted in Britain, in Devon in 1950.
How did it get here? It may have sailed to Britain, accidentally tucked in amongst some garden plants! But nobody really knows.
We hope to find out what effects changing temperatures have on the mini-beasts in our gardens.

The Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations seeks to foster and encourage the various forms of consecrated life in the Church today. In Vita Consecrata, the 1996 Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation, Pope John Paul II wrote of the different forms of consecrated life as "the many branches which sinks its roots into the Gospel and brings forth abundant fruit in every season of the Church's life." These diverse forms include: Monastic Life, the Orders of Virgins, Hermits, and Institutes completely devoted to contemplation, Apostolic Religious Life, Secular Institutes, Societies of Apostolic Life, and new or renewed forms of the consecrated life (cf. Vita Consecrata, 6-12). Each form is described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Celebrated in Parishes February 2-3, 2013
In 1997, Pope John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2. This feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. The celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life is transferred to the following Sunday in order to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for the whole Church.

Lucy Grealy Biography
Lucy Grealy (1963-2002) was born in Dublin, Ireland. She moved to Spring
Valley, New York, with her family when she was four years old. When she was
nine she was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. Surgery to remove a tumor also resulted in the removal of part of her
jaw, leaving her disfigured and fated to endless reconstruction operations. She
underwent years of chemotherapy and radiation, and multiple plastic surgery
operations almost up to the time of her death. As a teenager in Spring Valley,
she endured insults and ostracism but at Sarah Lawrence College in the
mid-1980s, she discovered poetry as a vehicle for her pent-up emotions and after
earning her BA, went on to earn a Masters in Fine Arts in Poetry from the Iowa
Writers Workshop. Her poetry appeared in a number of
magazines, including The Paris Review and The London Times Literary Supplement.

Big screens, big batteries: A roundup of tabletop PCs
Editors' note: This post was originally published May 16, 2013.
It's been with great interest that I've been following the growth of the new tabletop PC category. These systems are in some ways all-in-one desktops, similar to the Apple iMac, but with the added ability to fold down flat, as in the case of the new HP Envy Rove 20. Others feel more like megatablets, for example the 18-inch Dell XPS 18, which is a close cousin to Windows 8 slates such as Microsoft's Surface Pro. Both types combine big screens and big batteries to create a … Read more

Teacher's Guide
This downloadable PDF is filled with information, teaching suggestions and lab ideas.
Newton's Law of Cooling ModelThis EJS simulation from Open Source Physics (OSP) allows a student to explore concepts of heat transfer rates, specific heat and colorimetry.
Measuring the Quantity of Heat
On the previous page, we learned what heat does to an object when it is gained or released. Heat gains or losses result in changes in temperature, changes in state or the performance of work. Heat is a transfer of energy. When gained or lost by an object, there will be corresponding energy changes within that object. A change in temperature is associated with changes in the average kinetic energy of the particles within the object. A change in state is associated with changes in the internal potential energy possessed by the object. And when work is done, there is an overall transfer of energy to the object upon which the work is done. In this part of Lesson 2, we will investigate the question How does one measure the quantity of heat gained or released by an object?
Specific Heat Capacity
Suppose that several objects composed of different materials are heated in the same manner. Will the objects warm up at equal rates? The answer: most likely not. Different materials would warm up at different rates because each material has its own specific heat capacity. The specific heat capacity refers to the amount of heat required to cause a unit of mass (say a gram or a kilogram) to change its temperature by 1°C. Specific heat capacities of various materials are often listed in textbooks. Standard metric units are Joules/kilogram/Kelvin (J/kg/K). More commonly used units are J/g/°C. Use the widget below to view specific heat capacities of various materials. Simply type in the name of a substance (aluminum, iron, copper, water, methanol, wood, etc.) and click on the Submit button; results will be displayed in a separate window.
The specific heat capacity of solid aluminum (0.904 J/g/°C) is different than the specific heat capacity of solid iron (0.449 J/g/°C). This means that it would require more heat to increase the temperature of a given mass of aluminum by 1°C compared to the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of the same mass of iron by 1°C. In fact, it would take about twice as much heat to increase the temperature of a sample of aluminum a given amount compared to the same temperature change of the same amount of iron. This is because the specific heat capacity of aluminum is nearly twice the value of iron.
Heat capacities are listed on a per gram or per kilogram basis. Occasionally, the value is listed on a per mole basis, in which case it is called the molar heat capacity. The fact that they are listed on a per amount basis is an indication that the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on how much substance there is. Any person who has boiled a pot of water on a stove, undoubtedly know this truth. Water boils at 100°C at sea level and at slightly lowered temperatures at higher elevations. To bring a pot of water to a boil, its temperature must first be raised to 100°C. This temperature change is achieved by the absorption of heat from the stove burner. One quickly notices that it takes considerably more time to bring a full pot of water to a boil than to bring a half-full of water to a boil. This is because the full pot of water must absorb more heat to result in the same temperature change. In fact, it requires twice as much heat to cause the same temperature change in twice the mass of water.
Specific heat capacities are also listed on a per K or a per °C basis. The fact that the specific heat capacity is listed on a per degree basis is an indication that the quantity of heat required to raise a given mass of substance to a specific temperature depends upon the change in temperature required to reach that final temperature. In other words, it is not the final temperature that is of importance, it is the overall temperature change. It takes more heat to change the temperature of water from 20°C to 100°C (a change of 80°C) than to increase the temperature of the same amount of water from 60°C to 100°C (a change of 40°C). In fact, it requires twice as much heat to change the temperature of a given mass of water by 80°C compared to the change of 40°C. A person who wishes to bring water to a boil on a stovetop more quickly should begin with warm tap water instead of cold tap water.
This discussion of specific heat capacity deserves one final comment. The term specific heat capacity is somewhat of a misnomer. The term implies that substances have a capacity to contain heat. As has been previously discussed, heat is not something that is contained in an object. Heat is something that is transferred to or from an object. Objects contain energy in a variety of forms. When that energy is transferred to other objects of different temperatures, we refer to transferred energy as heat or thermal energy. While it's not likely to catch on, a more appropriate term would be specific energy capacity.
Relating the Quantity of Heat to the Temperature Change
Specific heat capacities provide a means of mathematically relating the amount of thermal energy gained (or lost) by a sample of any substance to the sample's mass and its resulting temperature change. The relationship between these four quantities is often expressed by the following equation.
Q = m•C•ΔT
where Q is the quantity of heat transferred to or from the object, m is the mass of the object, C is the specific heat capacity of the material the object is composed of, and ΔT is the resulting temperature change of the object. As in all situations in science, a delta (?) value for any quantity is calculated by subtracting the initial value of the quantity from the final value of the quantity. In this case, ΔT is equal to Tfinal - Tinitial. When using the above equation, the Q value can turn out to be either positive or negative. As always, a positive and a negative result from a calculation has physical significance. A positive Q value indicates that the object gained thermal energy from its surroundings; this would correspond to an increase in temperature and a positive ΔT value. A negative Q value indicates that the object released thermal energy to its surroundings; this would correspond to a decrease in temperature and a negative ΔT value.
Knowing any three of these four quantities allows an individual to calculate the fourth quantity. A common task in many physics classes involves solving problems associated with the relationships between these four quantities. As examples, consider the two problems below. The solution to each problem is worked out for you. Additional practice can be found in the Check Your Understanding section at the bottom of the page.
Example Problem 1 |
Like any problem in physics, the solution begins by identifying known quantities and relating them to the symbols used in the relevant equation. In this problem, we know the following:
m = 450 g
C = 4.18 J/g/°C
Tinitial = 15°C
Tfinal = 85°C
We wish to determine the value of Q - the quantity of heat. To do so, we would use the equation Q = m•C•ΔT. The m and the C are known; the ΔT can be determined from the initial and final temperature.
T = Tfinal - Tinitial = 85°C - 15°C = 70.°C
With three of the four quantities of the relevant equation known, we can substitute and solve for Q.
Q = m•C•ΔT = (450 g)•(4.18 J/g/°C)•(70.°C)
Q = 1.3x105 J = 130 kJ (rounded to two significant digits)
Example Problem 2 |
Compared to the previous problem, this is a much more difficult problem. In fact, this problem is like two problems in one. At the center of the problem-solving strategy is the recognition that the quantity of heat lost by the water (Qwater) equals the quantity of heat gained by the metal (Qmetal). Since the m, C and ΔT values of the water are known, the Qwater can be calculated. This Qwater value equals the Qmetal value. Once the Qmetal value is known, it can be used with the m and ΔT value of the metal to calculate the Qmetal. Use of this strategy leads to the following solution:
Part 1: Determine the Heat Lost by the Water
m = 50.0 g
C = 4.18 J/g/°C
Tinitial = 88.6°C
Tfinal = 87.1°C
ΔT = -1.5°C (Tfinal - Tinitial)
Solve for Qwater:
Qwater = m•C•ΔT = (50.0 g)•(4.18 J/g/°C)•(-1.5°C)
Qwater = -313.5 J (unrounded)
(The - sign indicates that heat is lost by the water)
Part 2: Determine the value of Cmetal
Qmetal = 313.5 J (use a + sign since the metal is gaining heat)
m = 12.9 g
Tinitial = 26.5°C
Tfinal = 87.1°C
ΔT = (Tfinal - Tinitial )
Solve for Cmetal:
Rearrange Qmetal = mmetal•Cmetal•ΔTmetal to obtain Cmetal = Qmetal / (mmetal•ΔTmetal)
Cmetal = Qmetal / (mmetal•ΔTmetal) = (313.5 J)/[(12.9 g)•(60.6°C)]
Cmetal = 0.40103 J/g/°C
Cmetal = 0.40 J/g/°C (rounded to two significant digits)
Heat and Changes of State
The discussion above and the accompanying equation relates the heat gained or lost by an object to the resulting temperature changes of that object. As we have learned, sometimes heat is gained or lost but there is no temperature change. This is the case when the substance is undergoing a state change. So now we must investigate the mathematics related to changes in state and the quantity of heat.
To begin the discussion, let's consider the various state changes that could be observed for a sample of matter. The table below lists several state changes and identifies the name commonly associated with each process.
Process |
Change of State |
Melting |
Solid to Liquid |
Freezing |
Liquid to Solid |
Vaporization |
Liquid to Gas |
Condensation |
Gas to Liquid |
Sublimation |
Solid to Gas |
Deposition |
Gas to Solid |
In the case of melting, boiling and sublimation, energy would have to be added to the sample of matter in order to cause the change of state. Such state changes are referred to as being endothermic. Freezing, condensation and deposition are exothermic; energy is released by the sample of matter when these state changes occur. So one might notice that a sample of ice (solid water) undergoes melting when it is placed on or near a burner. Heat is transferred from the burner to the sample of ice; energy is gained by the ice causing the change of state. But how much energy would be required to cause such a change of state? Is there a mathematical formula that might help in determining the answer to this question? There most certainly is.
The amount of energy required to change the state of a sample of matter depends on three things. It depends upon what the substance is, on how much substance is undergoing the state change, and upon what state change that is occurring. For instance, it requires a different amount of energy to melt ice (solid water) compared to melting iron. And it requires a different amount of energy to melt ice (solid water) as it does to vaporize the same amount of liquid water. And finally, it requires a different amount of energy to melt 10.0 grams of ice compared to melting 100.0 grams of ice. The substance, the process and the amount of substance are the three variables that affect the amount of energy required to cause a specific change in state. Use the widget below to investigate the effect of the substance and the process upon the energy change. (Note that the Heat of Fusion is the energy change associated with the solid-liquid state change.)
The values for the specific heat of fusion and the specific heat of vaporization are reported on a per amount basis. For instance, the specific heat of fusion of water is 333 J/gram. It takes 333 J of energy to melt 1.0 gram of ice. It takes 10 times as much energy - 3330 J - to melt 10.0 grams of ice. Reasoning in this manner leads to the following formulae relating the quantity of heat to the mass of the substance and the heat of fusion and vaporization.
For melting and freezing: Q = m•ΔHfusion
For vaporization and condensation: Q = m•ΔHvaporization
where Q represents the quantity of energy gained or released during the process, m represents the mass of the sample, ΔHfusion represents the specific heat of fusion (on a per gram basis) and ΔHvaporization represents the specific heat of vaporization (on a per gram basis). Similar to the discussion regarding Q = m•C•ΔT, the values of Q can be either positive or negative. Values of Q are positive for the melting and vaporization process; this is consistent with the fact that the sample of matter must gain energy in order to melt or vaporize. Values of Q are negative for the freezing and condensation process; this is consistent with the fact that the sample of matter must lose energy in order to freeze or condense.
As an illustration of how these equations can be used, consider the following two example problems.
Example Problem 3 |
The equation relating the mass (48.2 grams), the heat of fusion (333 J/g), and the quantity of energy (Q) is Q = m•ΔHfusion. Substitution of known values into the equation leads to the answer.
Q = m•ΔHfusion = (48.2 g)•(333 J/g)
Q = 1.61 x 104 J = 16.1 kJ (rounded to three significant digits)
Example Problem 3 involves a rather straightforward, plug-and-chug type calculation. Now we will try Example Problem 4, which will require a significant deeper level of analysis.
Example Problem 4 |
In this problem, the ice is melting and the liquid water is cooling down. Energy is being transferred from the liquid to the solid. To melt the solid ice, 333 J of energy must be transferred for every gram of ice. This transfer of energy from the liquid water to the ice will cool the liquid down. But the liquid can only cool as low as 0°C - the freezing point of the water. At this temperature the liquid will begin to solidify (freeze) and the ice will not completely melt.
We know the following about the ice and the liquid water:
Given Info about Ice:
m = 50.0 g
ΔHfusion = 333 J/g
Given Info about Liquid Water:
C = 4.18 J/g/°C
Tinitial = 26.5°C
Tfinal = 0.0°C
ΔT = -26.5°C (Tfinal - Tinitial )
The energy gained by the ice is equal to the energy lost from the water.
Qice = -Qliquid water
The - sign indicates that the one object gains energy and the other object loses energy. We can calculate the left side of the above equation as follows:
Qice = m•ΔHfusion = (50.0 g)•(333 J/g)
Qice = 16650 J
Now we can set the right side of the equation equal to m•C•ΔT and begin to substitute in known values of C and ΔT in order to solve for the mass of the liquid water. The solution is:
16650 J = -Qliquid water
16650 J = -mliquid water•Cliquid water•ΔTliquid water
16650 J = -mliquid water•(4.18 J/g/°C)•(-26.5°C)
16650 J = -mliquid water•(-110.77 J/°C)
mliquid water = -(16650 J)/(-110.77 J/°C)
mliquid water = 150.311 g
mliquid water = 1.50x102 g (rounded to three significant digits)
Heating and Cooling Curves Revisited
On the previous page of Lesson 2, the heating curve of water was discussed. The heating curve showed how the temperature of water increased over the course of time as a sample of water in its solid state (i.e., ice) was heated. We learned that the addition of heat to the sample of water could cause either changes in temperature or changes in state. At the melting point of water, the addition of heat causes a transformation of the water from the solid state to the liquid state. And at the boiling point of water, the addition of heat causes a transformation of the water from the liquid state to the gaseous state. These changes in state occurred without any changes in temperature. However, the addition of heat to a sample of water that is not at any phase change temperatures will result in a change in temperature.
Now we can approach the topic of heating curves on a more quantitative basis. The diagram below represents the heating curve of water. There are five labeled sections on the plotted lines.
The three diagonal sections represent the changes in temperature of the sample of water in the solid state (section 1), the liquid state (section 3), and the gaseous state (section 5). The two horizontal sections represent the changes in state of the water. In section 2, the sample of water is undergoing melting; the solid is changing to a liquid. In section 4, the sample of water is undergoing boiling; the liquid is changing to a gas. The quantity of heat transferred to the water in sections 1, 3, and 5 is related to the mass of the sample and the temperature change by the formula Q = m•C•ΔT. And the quantity of heat transferred to the water in sections 2 and 4 is related to the mass of the sample and the heat of fusion and vaporization by the formulae Q = m•ΔHfusion (section 2) and Q = m•ΔHvaporization (section 4). So now we will make an effort to calculate the quantity of heat required to change 50.0 grams of water from the solid state at -20.0°C to the gaseous state at 120.0°C. The calculation will require five steps - one step for each section of the above graph. While the specific heat capacity of a substance varies with temperature, we will use the following values of specific heat in our calculations:
Solid Water: C=2.00 J/g/°C
Liquid Water: C = 4.18 J/g/°C
Gaseous Water: C = 2.01 J/g/°C
Finally, we will use the previously reported values of ΔHfusion (333 J/g) and ΔHvaporization (2.23 kJ/g).
Section 1: Changing the temperature of solid water (ice) from -20.0°C to 0.0°C.
Use Q1 = m•C•ΔT
where m = 50.0 g, C = 2.00 J/g/°C, Tinitial = -200°C, andTfinal = 0.0°C
Q1 = m•C•ΔT = (50.0 g)•(2.00 J/g/°C)•(0.0°C - -20.0°C)
Q1 = 2.00 x103 J = 2.00 kJ
Section 2: Melting the Ice at 0.0°C.
Use Q2 = m•ΔHfusion
where m = 50.0 g and ΔHfusion = 333 J/g
Q2 = m•ΔHfusion = (50.0 g)•(333 J/g)
Q2 = 1.665 x104 J = 16.65 kJ
Q2 = 16.7 kJ (rounded to 3 significant digits)
Section 3: Changing the temperature of liquid water from 0.0°C to 100.0°C.
Use Q3 = m•C•ΔT
where m = 50.0 g, C = 4.18 J/g/°C, Tinitial = 0.0°C, and Tfinal = 100.0°C
Q3 = m•C•ΔT = (50.0 g)•(4.18 J/g/°C)•(100.0°C - 0.0°C)
Q3 = 2.09 x104 J = 20.9 kJ
Section 4: Boiling the Water at 100.0°C.
Use Q4 = m•ΔHvaporization
where m = 50.0 g and ΔHvaporization = 2.23 kJ/g
Q4 = m•ΔHvaporization = (50.0 g)•(2.23 kJ/g)
Q4 = 111.5 kJ
Q4 = 112 kJ (rounded to 3 significant digits)
Section 5: Changing the temperature of liquid water from 0.0°C to 100.0°C.
Use Q5 = m•C•ΔT
where m = 50.0 g, C = 2.01 J/g/°C, Tinitial = 100.0°C, and Tfinal = 120.0°C
Q5 = m•C•ΔT = (50.0 g)•(2.01 J/g/°C)•(120.0°C - 100.0°C)
Q5 = 2.01 x103 J = 2.01 kJ
The total amount of heat required to change solid water (ice) at -20°C to gaseous water at 120°C is the sum of the Q values for each section of the graph. That is,
Qtotal = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5
Summing these five Q values and rounding to the proper number of significant digits leads to a value of 154 kJ as the answer to the original question.
In the above example, there are several features of the solution that are worth reflecting on:
First: The lengthy problem was divided into parts, with each part representing one of the five sections of the graph. Since there were five Q values being calculated, they were labeled as Q1, Q2, etc. This level of organization is required in a multi-step problem such as this one.
Second: Attention was given to the +/- sign on ΔT. The change in temperature (or of any quantity) is always calculated as the final value of the quantity minus the initial value of that quantity.
Third: Attention was given to units throughout the course of the problem. Units of Q will either be in Joule or kiloJoule depending on which quantities are being multiplied. Failure to pay attention to units is a common cause of failure in problems like these.
Fourth: Attention was given to significant digits throughout the course of the problem. While this should never become the major emphasis of any problem in physics, it is certainly a detail worth attending to.
We've learned here on this page how to calculate the quantity of heat involved in any heating/cooling process and in any change of state process. This understanding will be critical as we proceed to the next page of Lesson 2 on the topic of calorimetry. Calorimetry is the science associated with determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings.
1. Water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Which one of the following statements logically follows from this fact?
a. Compared to other substances, hot water causes severe burns because it is a good conductor of heat
b. Compared to other substances, water will quickly warm up to high temperatures when heated.
c. Compared to other substances, it takes a considerable amount of heat for a sample of water to change its temperature by a small amount.
2. Explain why large bodies of water such as Lake Michigan can be quite chilly in early July despite the outdoor air temperatures being near or above 90°F (32°C).
3. The table below describes a thermal process for a variety of objects (indicated by red, bold-faced text). For each description, indicate if heat is gained or lost by the object, whether the process is endothermic or exothermic, and whether Q for the indicated object is a positive or negative value.
Process | Heat Gained or Heat Lost? |
Endo- or Exothermic? |
Q: + or -? |
a. |
An ice cube is placed into a glass of room temperature lemonade in order to cool the beverage down. | |||
b. |
A cold glass of lemonade sits on the picnic table in the hot afternoon sun and warms up to 32°F. | |||
c. |
The burners on an electric stove are turned off and gradually cool down to room temperature. | |||
d. |
The teacher removes a large chunk of dry ice from a thermos and places it into water. The dry ice sublimes, producing gaseous carbon dioxide. | |||
e. |
Water vapor in the humidified air strikes the window and turns to a dew drop (drop of liquid water). |
4. An 11.98-gram sample of zinc metal is placed in a hot water bath and warmed to 78.4°C. It is then removed and placed into a Styrofoam cup containing 50.0 mL of room temperature water (T=27.0°C; density = 1.00 g/mL). The water warms to a temperature of 28.1°C. Determine the specific heat capacity of the zinc.
5. Jake grabs a can of soda from the closet and pours it over ice in a cup. Determine the amount of heat lost by the room temperature soda as it melts 61.9 g of ice (ΔHfusion = 333 J/g).
6. The heat of sublimation (ΔHsublimation) of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is 570 J/g. Determine the amount of heat required to turn a 5.0-pound bag of dry ice into gaseous carbon dioxide. (Given: 1.00 kg = 2.20 lb)
7. Determine the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a 3.82-gram sample of solid para-dichlorobenzene from 24°C to its liquid state at 75°C. Para-dichlorobenzene has a melting point of 54°C, a heat of fusion of 124 J/g and specific heat capacities of 1.01 J/g/°C (solid state) and 1.19 J/g/°C (liquid state).

The highlight of May every year for me is knowing I will be in Indiana shooting the greatest motorsporting event in the world, the Indianapolis 500. With 2011 being the 100th anniversary of the first race it was guaranteed to be a big deal. Little did we know, those of us in attendance would also witness one of the most exciting 500 finishes ever.
.Every year when May comes around I get excited to go cover my favorite race of the year, the Indianapolis 500. Nothing can compare to the history and tradition of the 500. Off to the races!

SALINAS, Calif- Gas prices are driving financial worries in California. It's why a lot of people are thinking about going electric. Going green and saving gas is a combination you think would help save money. However, a Purdue University professor is saying Californians will want to think twice before purchasing a plug-in hybrid.
The Chevrolet Volt is the only plug-in hybrid on the market right now. One charge lets you travel 40 miles before needing gas which makes it an appealing option for those fed up with pumping expensive gas. "Where is my savings? The answer is they aren't there.", said Professor Wally Tyner. It's the question Tyner says the average Californian who invests in Chevy's plug-in hybrid will end up asking. Tyner came to the conclusion after studying California's electrictity pricing system and comparing the plug in Hybrid Chevy Volt to the Hybrid Toyota Prius and gas powered Chevy Cobalt. "California has one of the higheset prices for electricity in the country. It's about 40 percent higher than the national average.", said Tyner.
He said it's an issue because California's electric rates operate uner a tiered pricing system. "The more energy you consume. The more cost there is to you. it is ironic. An unintended consequence of the tiered pricing scheme intended to be green is it kills the plug in hybrid which is also green", he added. Tyner found that among the vehicles he compared, the gas-powered car was still most economical. "Plugging in means 37 percent of a household's electricity use goes to the volt. All the other things the house consumes are at lower tiers. The last thing you add on in this case the plug-in hybrid gets priced at a high price.", said Tyner
Pacific Gas & Electric officials say they are working around that. "There are a lot of things being looked at. A separate meter for an electric car is certainly something being explored", said PG&E spokesman Jeff Smith. That idea would put a cheaper rate on a meter just for cars, but Smith said who will pay for the installation of separate meters has not been determined. However, PG&E does have a special tariff set up for plug-in hybrids and electric cars. Smith says the tariffs help lift the burden of Calfornia's high electricity prices. "It allows PG&E to come in and analyze whether charging that vehicle is going to have an adverse impact on someone's electric bill or not." Smith said if the car does, then PG&E will charge customers with plug-in vehicles a reduced rate for the vehicle to charge overnight.
Tyner acknowledges high electric rates aren't the only factor that makes the Volt uneconomical to him in California. He added the electric cost on top of the Volt's 40 thousand dollar plus sticker price and factored in the need to replace the Volt's 10 thousand dollar battery about every seven years. Tyner's study does factor in the $7500 federal tax credit and the price of the battery dropping over time.
Environmental policy experts at Cal-State Monterey Bay say it's still not fair because the volt is considered a high-end plug in hybrid. "It's kind of like saying i'm going to buy a nice mercedes and someone else saying but yeah that's not economical. There are others that are going to be on the market in the near future including the plug in Prius for instance which will be priced much lower than the chevy volt.", said CSUMB Professor Dan Fernandez.
Elaine Chiu owns the first Chevy Volt on the Central Coast and says people have to remember the environmental impact of gas cars versus the plug-in hybrid. "I like seeing technology being used to stop using dead dinosaur juice. We're going to run out of oil.", said Chiu. She has solar panels at her home taht help supply her electricity and charge her Volt. "It's the green thing to do. The sun is free, electricity is free, then driving my car is free.", she added.
Tyner agrees and emphasizes his study does not look at the environmental cost or benefit. "The real enthusiastic environmentalist are going to buy it. they don't care what they pay.", said Tyner. His calculations show the plug-in hybrid is about 7-9 thousand dollars more expensive over a ten year time frame compared to the other vehicles in his study. It doesn't break down to a lot of money but Tyner said it's still important. "To average joe consumer 9 thousand dollars over ten years is still nine thousand dollars."
Eight Chevy Volts have sold at My Chevrolet in Salinas. The general manager says no one's complained about the electric costs though he did lose one sale to a customer who lives in a rented condo. "The landlord couldn't price out the electricity in the carport and said no.", Rick Ray said. He adds those hiccups are to be expected with new technology.
Tyner says since California's average electricity cost is about 40 percent higher than the national average, Californians will pay more to have a plug-in hybrid regradless of special rates. In the end, it critics and supporters say it comes down to personal choice. "I'm certainly concerned about my finances but I think all the benefits of having an electric vehicle overcome any kind of comparison between my electric rates and somebody from some other state.', said Sharon Sarris.
In February 2011, PG&E launched a tool on their website this month to help potential Plug-in Hybrid and electric car owners figure out electric costs.

The acrobot is a like a mini-segway – it balances on just two wheels, and can even compensate for pretty big external disturbances (like me poking it in this video). I built the acrobot with my great teammates Joe Polin and Jon Greco.
UPenn's Mechatronics course, MEAM 410/510, was one of the most intense and rewarding courses of my academic career, and allowed me to create some pretty cool robots over the course of the semester. Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanics, electronics, control theory, and computer science to design and manufacture useful products. It's an inherently interdisciplinary field, and course instructor Jonathan Feine has done a great job in creating a highly engaging, project-based course with an emphasis on design. The final project, Robockey, is showcased here.
Robockey was the epic capstone to MEAM 510 – a rough-and-tumble five-week project in which groups of three or four students build a team of three little robots that play hockey autonomously – no remote controls, no calling plays from the sidelines, nothing.
The project combines all the key elements of the course: mechanical design, electronics, programming, sleep deprivation, and overcaffeination. My team, comprised of Joe Polin, Jon Greco, Justin Starr, and myself, did quite well in the final tournament, placing third out of seventeen overall. The final tournament was actually a very well-produced public event, and a ton of fun. For more information, feel free to visit the official robockey website.
Here is an awesome video put together by my teammate Joe Polin which showcases our mechanical design and a little game footage:
Our team was red-white-and-blue themed, and our robots were named (sort of) after united states presidents – Millard Killmore, Martin Van Bruisin', and Grover Cleaveland. I don't think there was any questioning the fact that we had the most team spirit at the public tournament – a significant portion of Joe and Justin's fraternity showed up to cheer us on, and we were even featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Some more pictures and videos of our robots can be found below…
Here's a video of us showing our robots off to a bunch of elementary school kids who happened to be walking by while we were testing. (warning: extremely adorable).
Here are some shot of one of our robots from the front and side. Three circuit boards housed the motor drivers, phototransistor connections, and microprocessor. Gummy silicone tires provided a big traction advantage.
Kaboom! This is what happens when you rapidly thrash positive and negative 12V from a 500mA-rated LiPo through an H-Bridge motor driver. Don't try this at home, kids.
ASME paid the UPenn ModLab a visit and took some videos of projects going on in the lab. Here you can see Jon Greco and I showing off some modular boat robots for the DARPA TEMP Project (Tactically Expandable Maritime Platform).
I have to admit, I've always been a little skeptical of the idea of the "fun-loving tech startup" — companies full of geeks lounging on bean bag chairs and playing ping-pong. The idea that a pampering environment could stimulate creativity and lead to wild success in the great internet frontier always seemed a bit trite. Weren't these really just a bunch of geeks who got lucky, now attributing their success to some nebulous inspiration found between the primary-colored walls of their offices?

I had a great time this Saturday at the NYC Music Hackathon, where I hacked, coded, and generally made a lot of very strange sounds for many hours. I teamed up with my fellow Knewton intern Dylan Sherry to hack together some cool signal processing software using Supercollider, an open source programming language for sound synthesis and signal processing.
Dylan and I created software that allows a physical instrument or voice to control the sound of a synthesizer. The program works by processing the input signal to extract the volume envelope and dominant frequency, and then applying these characteristics to a synthesized sound generated with a set of oscillators.
What's cool about this is that the sound produced has all the harmonic properties of the chosen synth sound (the combination of oscillators determines its frequency spectra), but all the dynamic properties of the original sound (because the original sound determines the volume envelope).
It's a really cool effect. Dylan and I used a set of pure sine-wave oscillators superimposed at octaves for our base synth, which on its own sounds a little bit like a church organ. When I plugged in my stratocaster, the organ sound suddenly took on its twangy attack, and even became bluesy as I tried some pitch bends. When Dylan plugged in his EWI (a very cool saxophone-like synthesizer), the synth swelled and vibrated through a sustained tremolo note, and danced over the scale through some jazz sax runs.
This is a challenging signal processing problem, and when we set out to tackle it we thought we were going to have to build some really serious tools from scratch. Fortunately, we discovered Supercollider, which has great libraries for extracting features like pitch and amplitude from an input signal. Supercollider is a pretty fantastic (and free!) tool with a good support base, so if you're interested in playing with sound and computers, definitely check it out.
If we ever get the chance in the future, Dylan and I would like to continue this project and see where else we can take it. Possibilities include extracting dynamic changes in frequency from the input signal (belting while singing, for example, or overblowing a wind instrument) and using them to control the application of a filter to the output signal to give a musician even greater control over the musical quality of the synth sound produced. I personally would also really like to try and package this project into an Ableton plugin, so that I can use it in my own music projects.
Today rounds out my first week at Knewton, where I'll be interning this summer. Knewton is a medium-sized (~80 people) tech startup in Manhattan that makes adaptive learning software. Knewton's software uses intelligent algorithms to direct students through modular course curricula which adapts as the student proceeds. The core ideas is to present students with content that will optimally build their knowledge and assessments which optimally gauge proficiency. If you'd like to know more, just visit their website.
It's a fun place to work. Typical startup atmosphere: very friendly and informal, but hardworking. I get lots of nice perks, too, like free dinner every day.

Good Morning LP family, I had this dream twice in the past two nights. It was about this old house and it had a well beneath it and the floor was rotted and everyone was walking on it, I was afraid that I might fall through and drown because it was about 20 ft deep. And the next time I was outside trying to get in from someone. Any numbers or meaning thank you for helping.
There's a lot of Money out there, all you have to do is go get it!

Thank you AGF310 and Marcia for those numbers but I saw them to late and missed them. Next time.
Your post has been on my mind for awhile. Thought about the angle or direction to post my comment. The house can mean you..feeling tired and walked on. Feeling well over 6 feet under.(dead tired) The others in the dream by what I read were not afraid. But you were concern and I would be too. ( I would not want to walk on any floor knowing I could fall in 20 so feet of water.)
But if I understand right the next dream you wanted to go on in the house from the outside. I guess you decided to meet the challenge and take action in your house.
You have many 66's in your in your life right now. Your year of birth, age and your Terrestrial branch is 6..
6 can mean contemplating in the perennial mysteries that come up in your life. ..(a line in Whats-your-sign.com)
The Well is a big part of this dream. To me wells are not many and there are few. Kinda ancient..Why a well? People who have a well or use well water would not give it up or trade. Many vineyards and gardens use well water for the flourishing.
Water is a symbol of life. and it is ancient like the "elemental" symbols of earth wind and fire. Water can foretell great change.
Whatever is weighing your mind these days...hit the refresh button..and examine the angles in your life that need your attention. We had a strong moon recently..you might have been pretty sensitive to it.

Wear cute pajamas to bed...because you never know who you will meet in your dreams.
I had a dream myself, about 69 virgins on a tropical island. Should I play 69 in keno?
A house symbolizes the realization of a dream, desire or goal in the near future.
