In a physics lab students are conducting an experiment to learn about the heat capacity of different materials. The first group is instructed to add 1.5-g copper pellets at a temperature of 92°C to 345 g of water at 16°C. A second group is given the same number of 1.5-g pellets as the first group, but these are now aluminum pellets. Assume that no heat is lost to or gained from the surroundings for either group.

(a) If the final equilibrium temperature of the copper pellets and water is 25°C, how many whole pellets did the first group use in the experiment? The specific heat of copper is 0.0924 kcal/(kg · °C).

c.) What is the equilibrium temperature of the aluminum and water mixture for the second group? In celsius.

In the specific heat experiment, critical factors are the heat capacity of the calorimeter, the temperature of the holt sample, and the final temperature of the calorimeter. What effect could influence the temperature of the hot sample at the instant it is inserted into the calorimeter? What issues surround the measurement of the final calorimeter temperature?

In our physics lab, we did a experiment regarding Hooke's law, and the goal is to find the spring constant by using a simulation. In the first section of the procedure, our instructor intentionally give us the wrong instruction, which tells us to find spring constant using varying mass, delta x and constant gravity. In the second section of the procedure, we need to figure out what went wrong in the first section that caused us to incorrectly measure the...

As part of an experiment in physics lab, small metal ball of radius r = 2.3 cm rolls without slipping down a ramp and around a loop-the-loop of radius R = 3.4 m. The ball is solid with a uniform density and a mass M = 373 g. How high above the top of the loop must it be released in order that the ball just makes it around the loop? Now instead of a sphere, what if we rolled...

Heat Capacity Learning Goal: To understand the concepts of heat capacity, specific heat, and molar heat capacity. Heat capacity, C, is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by exactly 1 degree Celsius. The energy needed to warm an object increases as the mass of that object increases. We see this in our everyday life. For example, we know that it takes much more energy to heat a large tank of water than a small...
