Brass is an alloy made from copper and zinc. a 0.68 kg brass sample at 96.9◦c is dropped into 2.01 kg of water at 4.8◦c.
if the equilibrium temperature is 7.3◦c, what is the specific heat capacity of brass? the specific heat of water is 4186 j/kg ·◦ c .
answer in units of j/kg ·◦ c.

345.24 J/kgC

Explanation:

The heat that Brass had to expell to drop its temperature from 96.9◦C to 7.3◦C is the same heat that the Water had to absorb to raise its temperature from 4.8◦C to 7.3◦C:

QBrass = Qwater

mb*cb*ΔTb = mw * cw * ΔTw

Where mb is the mass of brass, cb is the specific heat capacity of brass, ΔTb is the change in temperature that the brass suffered, mw is the mass of the water, cw is the specific heat of water and ΔTw is the change in temperature that the water suffered.

cb =

cb =

a small object of mass 3.66 g and charge -17.6 µc is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric field perpendicular to the ground. what are the magnitude and direction of the electric field?

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
