<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>
Answer:
Required energy Q = 231 J
Explanation:
Given:
Specific heat of copper C = 0.385 J/g°C
Mass m = 20 g
ΔT = (50 - 20)°C = 30 °C
Find:
Required energy
Computation:
Q = mCΔT
Q = 20(0.385)(30)
Required energy Q = 231 J
