Question
A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel container holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 160-g cube of copper that is initially at 91°C, and the other is a chunk of aluminum that is initially at 5.0°C. To the surprise of the student, the water reaches a final temperature of 25°C, precisely where it started. What is the mass of the aluminum chunk?

- P3. After a particularly cold night, Alice leaves a tub of water outside. You may consider the ground and air to have temperatures of T. = -10°C and T = 10°C respectively. How thick is the layer of ice that forms at the bottom of the tub of water, after the tub has been left outside for a long time? The tub of water initially has a layer of water of thickness họ = 10 cm. You may assume that the ground and air remain at a constant temperature throughout, and that the side lengths of the tub a, b > ho, i.e. the heat conduction is one- dimensional. Density of ice and water are Pice = 920 kg/m³ and Pw = 1000 kg/m³. Ice and water have thermal conductivities of kice = 2.22 WK-1m-1 and kiw = 0.556 W K-1m-1.arrow_forwardA glass coffee pot has a 9.00 cm diameter circular bottom in contact with a heating element that keeps the coffee warm with a continuous 50.0-W heat input.

By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift?
