A small metal cube with a thermal mass mc and an initial temperature 0 is dropped into a container of water that is actively maintained at a constant temperature 0w. The cube quickly comes to rest on the bottom surface of the container. The bottom surface is maintained at a constant temperature 0 (note that this is different from 0w). The thermal resistance between the cube and the water is Rcw while the thermal resistance between the bottom surface of the container and the cube is RCB. The temperature of the cube is denoted by 0c. a) Draw the system schematic indicating the assumed directions of the heat transfer rates.

Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. a. If a woman rubs her hands a total of 19 times (forward and backwards count separately), at a distance of 7.75 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 39 N, what is the temperature increase of her hands, in degrees Celsius? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers, and the heat capacity of her hands is 3500 J/(kg⋅°C).

20:36 M Q4. A substance takes in energy of Q 1 point to increase its temperature by AT. Which formula can calculate the heat capacity (C) of the substance? * C-Q ΔΤ C = Q/AT C- ΔΤ/Q Q5. The more massive a substance, 1 point the the heat capacity. * smaller same larger Q6. The specific heat capacity of a 1 point substance is defined as: * the amount of energy required for substance of 1 kg to increase the temperature by 1 °C. the amount of energy for a substance required to increase the temperature by 1 °C. the volume of substance to store 1 °C of heat.
