### Physics Problems and Solutions

#### Problem 13
A hot cup of tea has a mass of 50g with a temperature of 90°C. A person decides to pour 5g of cold water at 10°C. Determine the equilibrium temperature. 

\[ c_{\text{water}} = 1 \text{ cal/g}°C \]

**Hint**: \( Q_{\text{hot}} = - Q_{\text{cold}} \)

**Show work**.

- A) 82.7°C
- B) 90°C
- C) 50°C
- D) 25°C
- E) None of the above.

#### Problem 14
A floating leaf oscillates up and down four complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 7.5 meters. What is the wave's speed?

**Show work**.

- A) 7.5 m/s
- B) 15 m/s
- C) 4 m/s
- D) 30 m/s

#### Explanation

**For Problem 13**

To find the equilibrium temperature (\(T_{\text{final}}\)) we use the principle of conservation of energy. The heat lost by the hot tea will be equal to the heat gained by the cold water:

\[ Q_{\text{hot}} = - Q_{\text{cold}} \]

\[ m_{\text{hot}} \times c_{\text{water}} \times (T_{\text{initial hot}} - T_{\text{final}}) = m_{\text{cold}} \times c_{\text{water}} \times (T_{\text{final}} - T_{\text{initial cold}}) \]

Let:
- \( m_{\text{hot}} = 50g \)
- \( m_{\text{cold}} = 5g \)
- \( c_{\text{water}} = 1 \text{cal/g}°C \)
- \( T_{\text{initial hot}} = 90°C \)
- \( T_{\text{initial cold}} = 10°C \)

Substituting the values, we get:

\[ 50 \times (90 - T_{\text{final}}) = 5 \times (T_{\text{final}} - 10) \]

Solving for \( T_{\text{final}} \):

\[ 4500 - 50 T
