When using a calorimeter, the initial temperature of a metal is 70.4C. The initial temperature of the water is 23.6C. At the end
2 answers:
1) 29.8 C
At the beginning, the metal is at higher temperature (70.4 C) while the water is at lower temperature (23.6 C). When they are put in contact, the metal transfers heat to the water, until they reach thermal equilibrium: at thermal equilibrium the two objects (the metal and the water have same temperature). Therefore, since the temperature of the water at thermal equilibrium is 29.8 C, the final temperature of the metal must be the same (29.8 C).
2) 6.2 C
The temperature change of the water is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:
where
Substituting into the formula,
And the positive sign means that the temperature of the water has increased.
3) -40.6 C
The temperature change of the metal is given by the difference between its final temperature and its initial temperature:
where
Substituting into the formula,
And the negative sign means the temperature of the metal has decreased.

The original kinetic energy will be 0 J and the final kinetic energy will be 7500 J and the amount of work utilized will be similar to the final kinetic energy i.e., 7500 J.
<u>Explanation:</u>
As it is known that the kinetic energy is defined as the energy exhibited by the moving objects. So the kinetic energy is equal to the product of mass and square of the velocity attained by the car. Thus,
So the initial kinetic energy will be the energy exerted by the car at the initial state when the initial velocity is zero. Thus the initial kinetic energy will be zero.
The final kinetic energy is
= 7500 J
As the work done is the energy required to start the car from zero velocity to 5 m/s velocity.
Work done = Final Kinetic energy - Initial Kinetic energy
Thus the work utilized for moving the car is
Work done = 7500 J - 0 J = 7500 J
Thus, the initial kinetic energy of the car is zero, the final kinetic energy is 7500 J and the work utilized by the car is also 7500 J.
