Capitolo 1, Problema 54

The warmest temperature ever measured in the United States is 134 °F, recorded on July 10, 1913, in Death Valley, California. Convert that temperature to °C and K.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
First, convert the temperature from Fahrenheit (°F) to Celsius (°C) using the formula: \( C = \frac{5}{9} \times (F - 32) \), where \( F \) is the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Substitute 134 °F into the formula to find the temperature in Celsius.
Next, convert the temperature from Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K) using the formula: \( K = C + 273.15 \), where \( C \) is the temperature in Celsius.
Substitute the result from step 2 into the formula to find the temperature in Kelvin.
Ensure to check the units in your final answers to confirm they are in °C and K respectively.

Conversion Formulas

To convert temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius, the formula is °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. For converting Celsius to Kelvin, the formula is K = °C + 273.15. Mastery of these formulas is crucial for performing temperature conversions correctly.

Conversion Factors

Absolute Zero

Kelvin is an absolute temperature scale where 0 K represents absolute zero, the theoretical point where molecular motion ceases. This scale is used in scientific contexts because it provides a direct measure of thermal energy. Understanding this concept helps in grasping the significance of temperature in physical sciences.
