You heat up a 3.0 kg aluminum pot with 1.5 kg of water from 5 to 90o Celsius. The specific heat capacity of Aluminum is 900 J/kgK. (a) How much energy did it take to heat the pot of water

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .
