Answer:
Approximately
assuming no heat exchange between the mixture and the surroundings.
Explanation:
Consider an object of specific heat capacity
and mass
. Increasing the temperature of this object by
would require
.
Look up the specific heat of water:
.
It is given that the mass of the water in this mixture is
.
Temperature change of the water:
.
Thus, the water in this mixture would have absorbed :
.
Thus, the energy that water absorbed was:
.
Assuming that there was no heat exchange between the mixture and its surroundings. The energy that the water in this mixture absorbed,
, would be the opposite of the energy that the metal in this mixture released.
Thus:
(negative because the metal in this mixture released energy rather than absorbing energy.)
Mass of the metal in this mixture:
.
Temperature change of the metal in this mixture:
.
Rearrange the equation
to obtain an expression for the specific heat capacity:
. The (average) specific heat capacity of the metal pieces in this mixture would be:
.
W = F x d/x = (m x Ag) x h, therefore, mass (2kg x 9.8) x 2.5m = 49J
Base on the said question or problem that state and ask to calculate the current of the said light bulb and in my further calculation and further analysis, I would say that the current of the light bulb would be 0.0292. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
