What is the mass of a piece of zinc that absorbs 1576 calories of heat and increased its temperature by 8.7 °C (specific heat of zinc is 0.39 cal/gºC). SHOW YOUR WORK *

m = 476.5[g].

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

where:

Q = heat energy = 1576 [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.39 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature [°C]

m = mass of the piece of zinc [g]

We must keep in mind that the difference of the final temperature minus the initial temperature results in the increase in temperature.

im doing peak rn so sry if its wrong

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it
