1. How much heat energy ( Q ) is required to heat 2.0 kg of copper from 30.0 oC to 80.0 oC?

Heat capacity, Q = 38500 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2 kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 30°C

Final temperature, T2 = 80°C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 385 J/Kg°C

To find the quantity of heat required;

Mathematically, heat capacity is given by the formula;

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

M represents the mass of an object.

C represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 80 - 30

dt = 50°C

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Heat capacity, Q = 38500 Joules

good looking response

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
