A 6.00 kg piece of solid copper metal at an initial temperature Tis placed with 2.00 kg of ice that is initially at -20.0°C. The ice is in aninsulated container of negligible mass and no heat is exchanged with thesurroundings. After thermal equilibrium is reached, there is 1.20 kg ofice and 0.80 kg of liquid water. What was the initial temperature of thepiece of copper?

Following vigorous exercise, the internal body temperature of a 69.5-kg person is 40.0°C. At what rate, in watts, must the person transfer thermal energy to reduce the body temp. 37.0 C in 30.0 min, assuming the body continues to produce energy at the rate of 150W?
A copper rod and an aluminum rod of equal diameter are joined end to end in good thermal contact. The temperature of the free end of the copper rod is held constant at 100°C, and that of the far end of the aluminum rod is held at 0°C. If the copper rod is 0.24 m long, what must be the length of the aluminum rod so that the temperature at the junction is 50°C? Need Help? Read It Master It
Question 4If a copper kettle has a base of thickness 2 mm and area 3 x 10^-2 m², estimate the steady difference in temperature between inner and outer surfaces of the base which must be maintained to enable enough heat to pass through so that the temperature of 1 kg of water rises at the rate of 0.25 K s^-1. Assume that there are no heat losses, the thermal conductivity of copper = 380 Wm^-1K^-1. and the specific heat capacity of water is 4200 Jkg^-1 K^-1.
A stone of mass 13 kg is dropped into a tank of water from just above the watersurface. The tank contains 100kg of water which is 1.3m deep. The stone has aspecific heat of 1000 J/kgK and water 4200 J/kgK. If the water and stone are initiallyat the same temperature, determine the temperature rise f the water. State anyassumptions made answer: 3.8x10^-4K
A length of thin wire is placed over a block of ice (or an icecube) at 0°C. The wire hangs down both sides of the ice,and weights are hung from the ends of the wire. It is foundthat the wire cuts its way through the ice cube, but leaves asolid block of ice behind it. This process is called regelation.Explain how this happens by inferring how the freezingpoint of water depends on pressure.
a cup of coffee sits on a table in an insulated mug. to coool the coffee down a ice block is added. the inital mass of coffee in the mug is 90g. the intial temperature of the coffee is 90 degree celsius. the ice block has started to melt and is then put into the coffee. the ice melts and the new temperature of the cofee is 78 degree c and the new mass is 110g. the ice block (final-intital mass) is 20g. what are teh tempeartuare changes for the coffee and ice (started at 0 degree celsius) also if specific heat of water is used for both the coffee and ice waht is the heat energy lost by the coffee and the heat energy gained by the ice after it melted?
