Mary applies a force of 70 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.50 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 78 N, the
box's acceleration changes to 0.68 m/s2. There is a constant friction force present between the floor and the box.
(a) What is the mass of the box in kilograms?
(b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box?

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is,
Explanation :
In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of aluminium =
= specific heat of water =
= mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g
= mass of water = 0.250 kg = 250 g
= final temperature of mixture = ?
= initial temperature of aluminum =
= initial temperature of water =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:
Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is,
