For enother example, see the quote on page 48.
It sucks heat out of my feet much more slowly due to its relatively poor thermal contactĪnd low heat capacity. In fact the rug is just as cold as the tub, but That is pretty well insulated from the weather. The same temperature, since they’ve been right next to each other all night long in a room Shower, the tub feels a lot colder to my feet than the rug. Problem 1.6, On a cold morning, when I step from the bathroom rug inte the tub for my The “relaxation time” could therefore be anywhere from 10 or 20 seconds te three minutes, Want a reading that is accurate to within a fraction of a degree. Temperature within 10 or 20 seconds waiting three minutes is necessary only because we However, the bulb of the thermometer must come most of the way up to body 1 was taught to leave the thermometer in my mouth for at least three The sun’s surface is 20 times room temperature and so on. “twice as hot” makes perfect sense: the melting point of lead is twice room temperatures But if we measure temperatures from absolute zero, then There's no fundamental sense, for instance, in “Twice as hot” on the Celsius (or Fahrenheit) scale would make no sense,īecanse the zero point is chosen arbitrarily.
