A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel con- tainer holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 200-g cube o

f copper that is initially at 85°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where it started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk?

Answer:

The mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explanation:

Given;

mass of steel container =  120-g

mass of water = 150 g

initial temperature of water, = 25°C

mass of copper cube, M_{cu} = 200 g

initial temperature of the copper cube, T_c_u = 85°C

initial temperature of the aluminum chunk T_A_l = 5.0°C

Neglecting heat loss, heat exchanged by the two metallic objects is the same since initial temperature is equal to final temperature of water.

M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}

where;

C_{AL} is specific heat capacity of aluminum

\delta T_{Al} is change in temperature of aluminum

C_c_u is the specific heat capacity of copper

\delta T_c_u is the change in temperature of copper

M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}}{C_{Al} \delta T_{Al}} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{0.2*387*60}{900*20} = 0.258 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.
