An aluminum cup contains 225 g of water and a 40 g copper stirrer, all at 27°C. A 410 g sample of silver at an initial temperature of 88°C is placed in the water. The stirrer is used to stir the mixture gently until it reaches its final equilibrium temperature of 32°C. Calculate the mass of the aluminum cup.

130.22 g

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of water Mw = 225 g

Mass of stirrer Ms = 40 g

Mass of silver M(S) = 410 g

By applying the law of conservation of energy:

(McCc + MsCs + MwCw)ΔTw = M(S)C(S)ΔT(S)

where Mc = Mass of cup

Cc = Specific heat capacity of aluminium cup = 900 J/gC

Cs = Specific heat capacity of copper stirrer = 387 J/gC

Cw = Specific heat capacity of water = 4186 J/gC

ΔTw = change in temperature of water = 32 - 27 = 5 °C

C(S) = Specific heat capacity of silver = 234 J/gC

ΔT(S) = change in temperature of silver = 88 - 32 = 56 °C

Therefore:

[(Mc * 900) + (40 * 387) + (225 * 4186)] * 5 = 410 * 234 * 56

(900Mc + 957330) * 5 = 5276700

900Mc + 957330 = 5276700 / 5 = 1074528

900Mc = 1074528 - 957330

900Mc = 117198

Mc = 117198/ 900

Mc = 130.22 g

The mass of the cup is 130.22 g.

pretty sure it's false

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
