Answer:
2274 J/kg ∙ K
Explanation:
The complete statement of the question is :
A lab assistant drops a 400.0-g piece of metal at 100.0°C into a 100.0-g aluminum cup containing 500.0 g of water at 15 °C. In a few minutes, she measures the final temperature of the system to be 40.0°C. What is the specific heat of the 400.0-g piece of metal, assuming that no significant heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of this aluminum is 900.0 J/kg ∙ K and that of water is 4186 J/kg ∙ K.
= mass of metal = 400 g
= specific heat of metal = ?
= initial temperature of metal = 100 °C
= mass of aluminum cup = 100 g
= specific heat of aluminum cup = 900.0 J/kg ∙ K
= initial temperature of aluminum cup = 15 °C
= mass of water = 500 g
= specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg ∙ K
= initial temperature of water = 15 °C
= Final equilibrium temperature = 40 °C
Using conservation of energy
heat lost by metal = heat gained by aluminum cup + heat gained by water

Expand each vector into their component forms:
Similarly,
Then assuming the resultant vector 
is the sum of these three vectors, we have
and so has magnitude
and direction 
such that
Answer:
The final temperature of both objects is 400 K
Explanation:
The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;
Q = cΔT
where;
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;
Q(A) = caΔT
where;
ca is the specific heat capacity of object A
The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;
Q(B) = cbΔT
where;
cb is the specific heat capacity of object B
The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A
Q(A) = -Q(B)
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
The final temperature of the two objects is given by
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.
