c. A group of physics students performed an experiment about specific heat of liquids. A liquid of unknown specific heat at a temperature of 20°C was mixed with water at 80°C in a well-insulated container. The final temperature was measured to be 50°C and the combined mass of the two liquids was measured to be 240 g. In a second trial with both liquids at the same initial temperature, 20 g less of the liquid of unknown specific heat was poured into the same amount of water as before. This time the equilibrium temperature was found to be 52°C. What is the value of the specific heat of the liquid does the group determined?

Newton's Law of Cooling The temperature, u, of a heated object at a given time t can be modeled by the equation u(t) = T+ (uo - T)et where k < 0 is a constant, T is constant ambient temperature, and up is the initial temperature of the heated object. Suppose that an object has been heated to 90 degrees celsius and is then allowed to cool in a room that is kept at a constant 45 degrees celsius. If the temperature of the object is 73 degrees celsius after 8 minutes, when will its temperature be 58 degrees celsius? minutes.
You take an aluminum cylinder with a mass m = (315± 2) g out of a furnace at temperature T = (250 ± 5)C °and place it in a large bath of cool water. The final 1 temperature of the cylinder and water is T2 = (29 ±1) C° . How much heat flows from the cylinder to the water, and what are the absolute and relative errors in the heat transfer out of the cylinder? The heat transfer is given by Q = mc T ∆where ∆T is the change in temperature and c = (0.215± 0.005)cal/g C is ⋅t°he specific heat of aluminum.
Part 1: Bullet A 52 g bullet is fired from a height of 458 m. The initial speed of the bullet is 140 m/s. The bullet eventually comes to rest in a bucket containing 2.9 kg of olive oil that is at ground level. As a result of bringing the bullet to a stop (any change in PE while in the olive oil is negligible), how much does the temperature of the olive oil increase (express the answer in K)? Also determine how fast the bullet is going at impact. Ignore air drag and assume that all of the thermal energy generated goes into heating the olive oil. Impact speed = AT= Part 2: Nail A 0.52 kg hammer strikes a 28 g copper nail into wood board. The nail is horizontally aligned and at the moment of impact with the nail, the hammer had a speed of 8.9 m/s.

What is the rate of heat transfer in J/s through the body's skin and the fat layer just beneath its surface? Treat the skin and fat as a single layer that is 1.20 cm thick. Assume the temperature of the inner surface of the layer corresponds to internal body temperature, or 36.7 °C, and the temperature of the outer surface of the layer corresponds to skin temperature, or 34.0 °C. Take the total surface area of the layer to be 1.50 m² and use a value of 0.413 W/(m-C°) for the average thermal conductivity of the layer. Number Units
