#19Problem: Let's determine the initial temperature of copper.
A copper cube with a mass of 85 grams is heated in a boiling water bath to a high temp. The cube is removed from the bath and placed on a large block of ice in an isolated container. The ice has a mass of 145 grams and is at a temperature of -12 Celsius. The ice is melted by the heat exchange, assume equilibrium is 0 Celsius.
C ice: 2090 J/Kg C
C copper: 390 J/kg C
Latent heat for melting Ice= 333kJ/kg
A cowboy fires a silver bullet with a muzzle speed of 200 m/s into the pine wall of a saloon. Assume all the internal energy generated by the impact remains with the bullet. What is the temperature change of the bullet?

- Dogs keep themselves cool by panting, rapidly breathing air in and out. Panting results in evaporation from moist tissues of the airway and lungs, which cools the animal. Measurements show that, on a 35°C day with a relative humidity of 50%, a 12 kg dog loses 1.0 g of water per minute if it ispanting vigorously. What rate of heat loss, in watts, does this achieve?arrow_forwardA student measures the following data in a calorimetry experiment designed to determine the specific heat of aluminum:Initial temperature of water and calorimeter: 70.08CMass of water: 0.400 kgMass of calorimeter: 0.040 kgSpecific heat of calorimeter: 0.63 kJ/kg ? °CInitial temperature of aluminum: 27.0°CMass of aluminum: 0.200 kgFinal temperature of mixture: 66.3°C(a) Use these data to determine the specific heat of aluminum.(b) Explain whether your result is within 15% of the value listed as shown.arrow_forwardWhich of the following can only be a situation of increasing temperature?arrow_forward
