4.00 kg glass coffee cup is 30.0°C at room temperature. It is then plunged into hot dishwater at a temperature of 90.0°C, as shown in Figure below. If the temperature of the cup reaches that of the dishwater, how much heat does the cup absorb? C glass = 837 (J/kg. C)*

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
