A rock of mass 0.425 kg falls from rest from a height of 20.5 m into a pail containing 0.487 kg of water. The rock and water have the same initial temperature. The specific heat capacity of the rock is 1800 J/(kg C°). Ignore the heat absorbed by the pail itself, and determine the rise in temperature of the rock and water in Celsius degrees.

When resting, a person has a metabolic rate of about 3.88 x 105 joules per hour. The person is submerged neck-deep into a tub containing 4.62 x 103 kg of water at 26.9 °C. If the heat from the person goes only into the water, find the water temperature in degrees Celsius after half an hour.
A rod made of glass has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.1200 m at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius. An aluminum ring has a diameter of 0.1196 m at a temperature of 20 degrees celsius. The coefficients of thermal expansion for glass and aluminum are 9.0 x 10-6 1/K and 24.0 x 10-6 1/K, respectively.

A copper rod with a mass of 2.45 kg and length 45.0 cm is initially at a temperature of 35.0° C. It is placed in a 5.82 kg water bath at an initial temperature of 15.0° C. What is the change in length of the rod?
A child running a temperature of 101°F is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to 98 °F in 20 minutes, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug. Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is 30 kg. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about 580 cal g-1.

An insulated container is partly filled with oil. The lid of the container is removed, 0.150 kg of water heated to 84.0°C is poured in, and the lid is replaced. As the water and the oil reach equilibrium, the volume of the oil increases by 1.00x105 m³. The density of the oil is 919 kg/m³, its specific heat capacity is 1980 J/(kg-C°), and its coefficient of volume expansion is 726x10-6 (Cº)-¹. What is the temperature when the oil and the water reach equilibrium? Number Units

Ice at 0 °C is placed in a Styrofoam cup containing 0.62 kg of lemonade at 32 °C. The specific heat capacity of lemonade is virtually the same as that of water; that is, c = 4180 J/(kg C°). After the ice and lemonade reach an equilibrium temperature, some ice still remains. The latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 3.35 x 105 J/ kg. Assume that the mass of the cup is so small that it absorbs a negligible amount of heat, and ignore any heat lost to the surroundings. Determine the mass of ice that has melted, in grams.
During an all-night cram session, a student heats up a 0.304 liter (0.304 x 10- 3 m3) glass (Pyrex) beaker of cold coffee. Initially, the temperature is 18.3 °C, and the beaker is filled to the brim. A short time later when the student returns, the temperature has risen to 96.9 °C. The coefficient of volume expansion of coffee is the same as that of water. How much coffee (in cubic meters) has spilled out of the beaker?
