At low temperatures, the heat capacity of certain materials (glasses)can be described by the formula:C₁ = aT,where a is a constant. Two identical objects made from such a material are brought together.Their initial temperatures are T₁ = 1K and T₂ = 3K. Assume that the objects exchange heat witheach other but not with the surroundings and that the process is performed at constant pressure.What is the final temperature of the objects after equilibrium is achieved?

A chunk of hot iron is pulled out of a fire and placed between aluminum vice grips. The mass of the iron is 219 g and the mass of the aluminum is 66.4 g. The iron is initially 351.8 °C. The aluminum is initially 24.7 °C. Assuming no loss of heat to the environment, what is the final temperature of the iron-aluminum system? I couldn't even get started on this one.
The highest registered waterfalls in the world are those of Angel Falls, which is located in Venezuela. Its longest single waterfall has a height of 807 m. If the water at the top of the falls is 18.0 ° C, what is the maximum temperature (in degrees C) of the water at the bottom? Suppose that when all the kinetic energy of the water reaches the bottom, the temperature of the water increases.
I am very hungry, so I need to cook myself some ramen on the stove. I fill up a pot with 2 kg of water and place the pot on my stove which has an average power output of 8.22 kW, raising the water's temperature from 31.5°C to its boiling point (roughly around 100.6°C). How long after placing the pot of water on the stove does it take for the pot of water start boiling in seconds? Hint: Water has a specific heat of 4.2 k J k g ∘ C, and this is an energy transformation problem. Start with finding Q.
We often cut a watermelon in half and put it into the freezer to cool it quickly. But usually we forget to check on it and end up having a watermelon with a frozen layer on the top. To avoid this potential problem a person wants to set the timer such that it will go off when the temperature of the exposed surface of the watermelon drops to 3°C. Consider a 25-cm-diameter spherical watermelon that is cut into two equal parts and put into a freezer at -12°C. Initially, the entire watermelon is at a uniform temperature of 25°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 22 W/m2·K. Assuming the watermelon to have the properties of water, determine how long it will take for the center of the exposed cut surfaces of the watermelon to drop to 3°C.
