Consider a physical quantity X that depends on the temperature T in Kelvin as X

Question

Consider a physical quantity X that depends on the temperature T in Kelvin as X = aT, where a is constant. Derive an expansion for the percent error that you would make in calculating X if you used the temperature in Celsius (i.e., the wrong units). Percent error in this case is defined as the ratio of the absolute value of the difference between the correct and the wrong result divided by the correct result, expressed as s percent. Express your answer so that there is only one variable in it, The temperature in kelvin. Calculate the percent error in determining X for -20 degree F(a cold, winter morning in Bozeman), 4000 degree C (the interior of the Earth), and 15 times 106 degree C (interior of the Sun). You'll need to convert all these to kelvin to use them in your expression... Reading question for Chapter 18 Sections 6 through 9 Two spheres that are not in thermal contact with each other, one made of copper and one made of gold, have the same mass and temperature. After the same amount of heat is added to each sphere, the final temperature of the two spheres is different. Which one of the following statements best explains the reason for this temperature difference? The specific heat of the two spheres is different. The density of the two spheres id different The volumes of the two spheres are different The coefficient of volume expansion of the two spheres is different The latent heat of vaporization of the two spheres is different
