7.00 kg piece of solid copper metal at an initial temperature T is placed with 2.00 kg of ice that is initially at -20.0°C. The ice is in an insulated container of negligible mass and no heat is exchanged with the surroundings. After thermal equilibrium is reached, there is 0.90 kg of ice and 1.10 kg of liquid water. Required:
What was the initial temperature of the piece of copper?

Aball bearing at 220.0 °c is dropped into a cup containing 250.0 g of water at 20.0 °c. the water and ball bearing come to a temperature of 30.0 °c. what is the heat capacity of the ball bearing in j/°c? (hint: how are the algebraic signs of q related for the ball bearing and the water? )

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?

What is the increase in density of a medium due to wave travel?
