a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°

C, the temperature rises by 4.3°C. What is the specific heat capacity of the metal?

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21

Answer:

c₁ =  3.68 J/g°C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat Q gained by a body of mass m, specific heat capacity, c and temperature change ΔT is  Q = mcΔT. Let m₁, c₁ and m₂, c₂ represent the masses and specific heat capacities of the metal and water respectively. ΔT₂ for the water = 4.3°C. This means that its final temperature of the water after the metal has been placed in it is 21.0°C + 4.3°C = 24.3°C, which is the final temperature of the metal. So ΔT₁ for metal = 24.3°C - 50.0°C = -25.7°C.

Since heat loss equals heat gain

-m₁c₁ΔT₁ = m₂c₂ΔT₂

c₁ = -m₂c₂ΔT₂/m₁ΔT₁

c₁ = -80.2 × 4.2 × 4.3/15.3 × -25.7 = -1448.412/(-393.21) = 3.683 J/g°C

c₁ ≈  3.68 J/g°C

<span>1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>
