An automobile has a mass of 1,547 kg, and its aluminum brakes have an overall mass of 10.2 kg. (a) Assuming all the internal energy transformed by friction when the car stops is deposited in the brakes and neglecting energy transfer, how many times could the car be braked to rest starting from 29.0 m/s before the brakes would begin to melt? (Assume an initial temperature of 20.0°C. Count only the number of times the car can come to a complete stop without the brakes melting in the process. The melting point of aluminum is 660°C.)
Assume Lake Michigan contains 4.90 x 1012 m³ of water, and assume the water's density is that of water at 20°C and 1 atm.

A 155 g copper bowl contains 230 g of water, both at 20.0°C. A very hot 300 g copper cylinder is dropped into the water, causing the water to boil, with 4.05 g being converted to steam. The final temperature of the system is 100°C. Neglect energy transfers with the environment. (a) How much energy (in calories) is transferred to the water as heat? 8.6 X kcal (b) How much energy (in calories) is transferred to the bowl? 55 X kcal (c) What is the original temperature of the cylinder? 553.6 X °C Did you use the idea of conservation of energy? That is, did you equate the sum of the energy transfers to zero? For the bowl and cylinder, did you substitute the expression relating an energy transfer, the specific heat, the mass, and the temperature change? For the water, did you use the same expression to get the water to the boiling point? Did you also include an expression for the heat of vaporization? Did you use the given final temperature for each of the three materials?
