Question 5 Specific Heat of Solid Substances Substance D Aluminum B silver; because it is a transition metal with the lowest specific heat value C Iron Copper Tin Given the specific heat information presented, which substance would make the BEST material to create a pan for cooking and why? D Specific Heat (J/kg°C) 899 443 385 213 Tin - because it has a low specific heat, which means it conducts heat the best. Aluminum - because it has a high specific heat, which means it conducts heat the best. Copper - because it has a mid-level specific heat, which means it is a good insulator. Iron - because it has a mid-level specific heat, which means it is a good conductor.
A 1.17 kg hammer strikes a 20 g brass nail into a wood board. The nail is horizontally aligned and at the moment of impact with the nail, the hammer had a speed of 9.1 m/s. Assume both the hammer and the nail come to a stop and that all of the thermal energy generated goes into heating the nail. Determine how much the temperature of the nail will increase after one hit and how many hits it will take to increase its temperature 88°C ΔT after one hit = Minimum number of hits needed to increase the temperature by at least 88°C =
