- When you turn your hot water on in the shower, it takes a bit for the water to get warm. Some of this is because the water in the pipe is cold but some of it is because the water from the hot water heater must heat the copper plumbing pipe itself. Copper has a specific heat of 0.39R. How much energy does it take to heat 2 kilograms of copper pipe from 70°F to 130°F? Report your answer in Joules.
