A 3.00-g copper penny at 25.0C drops from a height of 50.0 m to the ground. (a) If 60.0percent of the change in potential energy goes into increasing the internal energy, what is its final temperature? Specific heat of Cu
Heat used in increasing temp
Potential energy of spring converted in to potential energy
Average KE depends only on temperature
A = Surface area of the box = 6s2 = 6 × (0.3)2 = 0.54 m3
Time gap, t = 6 h = 6 × 60 × 60 s
But Q = m'L
∴ m' = Q/L
= 104976/(335 × 103) = 0.313 kg
Mass of ice left = 4 – 0.3 = 3.7 kg
Hence, the amount of ice remaining after 6 h is 3.7 kg.
