If you drop 50g of metal that is initially at 120ºc into 100g of water in a styrofoam cup that is initially at 20ºc and the temperature of the water rises to 30ºc, what is the specific heat of the metal, if you ignore any heat transferred to the cup?

Answer : The specific heat of metal is,

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

where,

= specific heat of metal = ?

= specific heat of water =

= mass of metal = 50 g

= mass of water = 100 g

= final temperature =

= initial temperature of metal =

= initial temperature of water =

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

Therefore, the specific heat of metal is,

electrical to thermal

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
