Copper has a specific heat of 0.09 cal/g x c . how much change in temperature would the addition of 8373 cal of heat have on a 538.0 gram sample of copper

172.92 °C

Concept being tested: Quantity of heat

We are given;

We are required to calculate the change in temperature.

Therefore, to calculate the change in temperature, ΔT we rearrange the formula;

ΔT = Q ÷ mc

Thus;

ΔT = 8373 cal ÷ (538 g × 0.09 cal/g°C)

    = 172.92 °C

Therefore, the change in temperature will be 172.92 °C

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

technology is the application of the knowledge gained by science.
