A 100g sample of hot copper is placed in a coffee cup calorimeter containing 100 grams of water at room temperature. After some

time the temperature of the water and the copper become a constant at 50˚C. Calculate the initial temperature of the copper piece. The specific heat of copper is 0.385 J/g˚C. The specific heat of liquid water is 4.184 J/g˚C.

Answer:

356^{\circ}C

Explanation:

When the hot copper and the liquid water reaches equilibrium, they have the same temperature; when this happens, the amount of heat released by the copper is equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the water:

-Q_c = Q_w\\-m_c C_c (T_f-T_c) = m_w C_w (T_f-T_w)

where

m_c = 100 g is the mass of the copper

C_c=0.385 J/g˚C is the specific heat of copper

T_f=50˚C is the final temperature of both substances

m_w = 100 g is the mass of the water

C_w=4.184 J/g˚C is the specific heat of the water

T_c is the initial temperature of the copper

T_w=20˚C is the initial temperature of the water (room temperature)

Solving for T_c, we find:

T_c = T_f + \frac{m_w C_w (T_f-T_w)}{m_c C_c}=50^{\circ} +\frac{(100 g)(4.184 J/gC) (50C-20C)}{(100 g)(0.385 J/gC)}=356^{\circ} C

Verizon [17]
The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles.  But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>

b

c

e

h

Explanation:

Note that the swing direction was not giving in the question and direction could be sideways (in a turn) or in a track or both

The question show something in common ...acceleration

So let's look at the statements and pick the correct ones

a is false while b is correct as the train is accelerating

c is correct. The train is accelerating even thou the speed could not be ascertained

d is false and not feasible as the train is accelerating

e is true as the train maybe moving at a constant speed in a circle

f is false. This could be constant velocity in a circle. Same as g (false)

h is true. It's accelerating

amid [387]

Answer:

Q=1670J

Explanation:

Mass of ice: m=5g=0.005kg

Latent heat: lambda=3.34×10⁵J/kg

Heat received by ice: Q=m×lambda

Q=0.005×3.34×10⁵=5×334=1670J
