Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. All energy can be expressed in Joules (including thermal <span>energy</span>
482VP I think is the correct answer.
Answer:
Idk if this is right but i hope it helps... sorry if it's wrong
Explanation:
Answer:
ºC
Explanation:
We have to start with the variables of the problem:
Mass of water = 60 g
Mass of gold = 13.5 g
Initial temperature of water= 19 ºC
Final temperature of water= 20 ºC
<u>Initial temperature of gold= Unknow</u>
Final temperature of gold= 20 ºC
Specific heat of gold = 0.13J/gºC
Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C
Now if we remember the <u>heat equation</u>:


We can relate these equations if we take into account that <u>all heat of gold is transfer to the water</u>, so:

Now we can <u>put the values into the equation</u>:

Now we can <u>solve for the initial temperature of gold</u>, so:

ºC
