Answer:

T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C

Explanation:

The interaction of the piece of copper and water means that the first one need to transfer heat in order to reach a thermal equilibrium with water. Then:

-Q_{out,Cu} = Q_{in,H_{2}O}

After a quick substitution, the expanded expression is:

-(43.9\,g)\cdot (0.385\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = (254\,g)\cdot (4.187\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-39\,^{\textdegree}C)

-16.902\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = 1063.498\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C} \cdot  (T-39^{\textdegree}C)

43758,192\,J = 1080.4\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot T

The final temperature of the system is:

T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C

Answer:

40.497 °C

Explanation:

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

CM(T₁-T₃) = cm(T₃-T₂)........................ Equation 1

Where C = specific heat capacity of copper, M = mass of copper, T₁ = Initial Temperature of copper, T₂ = Initial Temperature of water, T₃ = final temperature of the system,

Make T₃ the subject of the equation

T₃= (CMT₁+cmT₂)/(CM+cm)................. Equation 2

Given: C = 0.385 J/g°C, M = 43.9 g, c = 4.2 J/g°C, m = 254 g, T₁ = 135 °C, T₂ = 39 °C

Substitute into equation 2

T₃ = (0.385×43.9×135+4.2×254×39)/(0.385×43.9+4.2×254)

T₃ = (2281.70+41605.2)/(16.9015+1066.8)

T₃ = 43886.9/1083.7015

T₃ = 40.497 °C.

Hence the final temperature of the system = 40.497 °C

What is the kinetic energy of an object moving 40m/s with a mass of 20kg?
Svet_ta [14]
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²

KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)

KE = 16,000 Joules
