When you turn your hot water on in the shower, it takes a bit for the water to get warm. Some of this is because the water in the pipe is cold but some of it is because the water from the hot water heater must heat the copper plumbing pipe itself. Copper has a specific heat of 0.39ER. How much energy does it take to heat 2 kilograms of copper pipe from 70°F to 130°F? Report your answer in Joules. (Hint: Note that you'll need to convert kJ to J and F to K.)

Many species cool themselves by sweating, because as the sweat evaporates, heat is transferred to the surroundings. A human exercising strenuously has an evaporative heat loss rate of about 659 W. If a person exercises strenuously for 21.9 min, how much water must he drink to replenish his fluid loss? The heat of vaporization of water is 2430 J/g at normal skin temperature.
The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount of heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 9.56-g pistachio if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.540 kg of water held in a 0.116-kg aluminum cup, causing a 57.7°C temperature increase? (You do not need to enter any units.) kcal/g Submit Answer Tries 0/10 Part B If a serving of pistachio consists of 16.0-g, how many kcal is consumed per serving?

A 10 kg box is hit by a truck and slides across the concrete. After being hit by the truck the box has an initial velocity of 6m/s and takes 5m to come to a stop. If the box heats up by 10 degrees, what are the specific heat of the box and the coefficient of friction between the box and the concrete?
To determine the specific heat of an object, a student heats it to 100 ∘C∘C in boiling water. She then places the 55.4 gg object in a 179 gg aluminum calorimeter containing 129 gg of water. The aluminum and water are initially at a temperature of 19.9 ∘C∘C, and are thermally insulated from their surroundings. If the final temperature is 22.3 ∘C∘C, what is the specific heat of the objectand the type of material?
Geologists measure conductive heat flow out of the earth by drilling holes (a few hundred meters deep) and measuring the temperature as a function of depth. Suppose that in a certain location the temperature increases by 20°C per kilometer of depth and the thermal conductivity of the rock is 2.5 W/m·K. What is the rate of heat conduction per square meter in this location? Assuming that this value is typical of other locations over all of earth's surface, at approximately what rate is the earth losing heat via conduction? (The radius of the earth is 6400 km.)
An ice tray is removed from a freezer, where the ice was at a temperature of -11°C, and left on a countertop. If the mass of the ice is 0.29 kg, how much heat must be added in k to turn all the ice into room temperature water (that is, liquid water at 20°C)? The specific heat of water is 4.2 kgC kJ the heat of fusion of water is 335 kg kJ and the specific heat of ice is 2.1 kg°C* 133.69 This is a change of phase question. There are 3 cases we have to consider: 1. The heat required to increase the temperature of the ice, Q1 2. The heat required to turn the ice into a liquid (a phase change), Q2 3. The heat required to raise the temperature of the now liquid water, Q3 For Q1, you will use the equation Q = mcATusing the c=2.1 kJ/(kg*C). Keep in mind that the hp
In an effort to stay awake for an all-night study session, a student makes a cup of coffee by first placing a 220-W electric immersion heater in 0.320 kgm of water. (a) How much heat must be added to the water to raise its temperature from 20.0 °C to 80.0°C? (b) How much time is required? Assume that all of the heater's power goes into heating of water.
An ice bag containing 0°C ice is much more effective in absorbing heat than one containing the same amount of 0°C water.

(b) How much heat (in J) is required to first melt 0.900 kg of 0°C ice and then raise its temperature? (c) Explain how your answers support the contention that the ice is more effective.

A small electric immersion heater is used to heat 79 g of water for a cup of instant coffee. The heater is labeled “160 watts” (it converts electrical energy to thermal energy at this rate).
