In a physics lab experiment, a student immersed 205 one-cent coins (each having a mass of 3.00g ) in boiling water. After they reached thermal equilibrium, she quickly fished them out and dropped them into 0.236kg of water at 20.0 C in an insulated container of negligible mass.......... What was the final temperature of the coins? [One-cent coins are made of a metal alloy - mostly zinc - with a specific heat capacity of 390 J / (kg * K)

Refrigerator moves energy from cold to hot reservoir : A refrigerator moves energy from a cold reservoir (the inside of the refrigerator) to a hot reservoir (the kitchen), but some extra energy is required in the form of work done by some outside agent (typically a compressor motor).

Energy is exhausted to the cold reservoir : Suppose a heat engine has an efficiency of 0.201 and produces 1.09×104 J of work. How much energy is pulled in from the hot reservoir? How much energy is rejected by the engine? (This energy is "exhausted" to the cold reservoir.))

(this energy is exhausted to the cold reservoir : Suppose a heat engine pulls 3.37×104 J of work from the hot reservoir and 7.52×103 J of that energy is used to perform work. How much energy is rejected by the engine? (This energy is "exhausted" to the cold reservoir.) What is the efficiency of the ..

Determine the thermal conductivity of the styrofoam : A Styrofoam box has a surface area of 0.74 m2 and a wall thickness of 2.0 cm. The temperature of the inner surface is 5.0°C, and the outside temperature is 27°C. If it takes 8.5 h for 5.0 kg of ice to melt in the container, determine the thermal cond..

Determine the new period of the clocks pendulum : A clock has an aluminum pendulum with a period of 1.000 s at 20.7 °C. Suppose the clock is moved to a location where the average temperature is 32.2 °C. (The linear expansion coefficient for aluminum is 2.20 10-5 °C?1.)

Calculate the acceleration of the ball : A pulley of radius 20cm and moment of inertia is suspended from a ceiling and has a long string of negligible mass wound around it. A ball of mass 1kg is connected to the string and released from rest from a height of 2m above the floor. Calculate th..

Temperature of the system consisting of the ice-water : A 40-g block of ice is cooled to ?72°C and is then added to 640 g of water in an 80-g copper calorimeter at a temperature of 27°C. Determine the final temperature of the system consisting of the ice, water, and calorimeter.

What is the increase in temperature of the bullet : A 5.00-g lead bullet traveling at 300 m/s is stopped by a large tree. If half the kinetic energy of the bullet is transformed into internal energy and remains with the bullet while the other half is transmitted to the tree, what is the increase in te..
