A 500.0-g chunk of an unknown metal, which has been in boiling water for several minutes, is quickly dropped into an insulating
Styrofoam beaker containing 1.00 kg of water at room temperature (20.0∘C). After waiting and gently stirring for 5.00 minutes, you observe that the water’s temperature has reached a constant value of 20.0∘C. (a) Assuming that the Styrofoam absorbs a negligibly small amount of heat and that no heat was lost to the surroundings, what is the specific heat of the metal?
(b) Which is more useful for storing thermal energy: this metal or an equal weight of water? Explain.
(c) If the heat absorbed by the Styrofoam actually is not negligible, how would the specific heat you calculated in part (a) be in error? Would it be too large, too small, or still correct? Explain.
Most of the times, the numbers that appears right to the cursor are representing the coordinates (x & y) of the cursor. So as the cursor moves around the screen those number changes accordingly.Therefore its wrong to say that there is no need to add a dimension to set the dimensional value.
