All observers measure the same speed of light,
no matter how any observer is moving.

The question is kind of awkward, though.  It seems to say that
people were having a hard time accepting this postulate of relativity,
until Michelson and Morley came along and did their experiment, and
their results gave Relativity a boost.

Actually, Michelson and Morley did their famous experiment in 1887.
At the time, Einstein was only 8 years old, and Relativity was not even
a twinkle in his eye yet.

Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter
stellarik [79]

Answer:

T = 20.84°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water

m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a

where,

m_c = mass of copper = 227 g

m_w = mass of water = 844 g

m_a = mass of aluminum = 155 g

C_c = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

C_a = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C

\Delta T_c = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T

\Delta T_w = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C

\Delta T_a = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C

T = equilibrium temperature = ?

Therefore,

(227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}

<u>T = 20.84°C</u>
