a hot piece of copper is placed in an insulated cup. what is the final temperature of the water and copper?

Option C. 30°C.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of water (Mw) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of water (Cw) = 4.18 KJ/Kg°C

Initial temperature of water (Tw1) =

22°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tw1 = T2 – 22°C

Mass of copper (Mc) = 0.5 Kg

Specific heat capacity of copper (Cc) = 0.386 KJ/kg°C

Initial temperature of copper (Tc1) = 115°C

Change in temperature (ΔT) = T2 – Tc1 = T2 – 115°C

Final temperature (T2) =..?

Note: Both the water and the piece copper will have the same final temperature and the heat will be zero since the water will cool the piece of copper.

Thus, we can determine the final temperature of the water and copper as follow:

Q = MwCwΔT + McCcΔT

0 = 0.5 x 4.18 x (T2 – 22) + 0.5 x 0.386 x (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09 (T2 – 22) + 0.193 (T2 – 115)

0 = 2.09T2 – 45.98 + 0.193T2 – 22.195

Collect like terms

2.09T2 + 0.193T2 = 45.98 + 22.195

2.283T2 = 68.175

Divide both side by the coefficient of T2 i.e 2.283

T2 = 68.175/2.283

T2 = 29.8 ≈ 30°C

Therefore, the final temperature of water and copper is 30°C.

total distance travelled = 60 miles

total time taken =1.5 hours

average speed = total distance / total time

60 / 1.5

= 40

therefore, average speed = 40 m/h

happy to

pls mark as brainliest

no. dot product   =0 when vecs at right angles
