Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 23ICA
If an object is heated, the temperature of the body will increase. The energy (Q) associated with a change in temperature (ΔT) is a function of the mass of the object (m) and the specific heat(Cp). In an experiment, heat is applied to the end of an object, and the temperature change at the other end of the object is recorded. This leads to the following equation.
An unknown material with a mass of = kilograms is tested in the lab, yielding the following results. Use the polyfit function to determine the specific heat of this material and store the final result in the variable Cp.
Create a proper plot of the data. Add a linear trendline, showing the resulting trend line equation, on the graph for a change in temperature over a range of energy from 5 joules to 70 joules.
