    What is the mass of water used to cool the iron car engine?

    This is what i did: Q for iron = mc(tf-ti) = 2.50 x 10^2 kg x 450 J/kg/°c x (10°c - 35°c) = -2.813 x 10^6 J Q for water = 4.4 x10^6 J - 2.813 x 10^6 J = 1.587 x10^6 J mass for water = Q / c x (tf-ti) = 1.587 x10^6 J / 4180 x (...

    What is the mass of water used to cool the iron car engine?

    A 2.50 x 10^2 kg iron car engine contains water as coolant. Suppose the temperature of engine is 35 degree celsius when it shut off and air temperature is 10degree celsius. The heat given off by engine and watering it as they cool to air temperature is 4.4 x10^6 J. What is the mass of water used...

    Significant figures in multiplication and when question data determines precision

    1) Which is right? 65m/s x 3.2 s = 208 m or 65m/s x 3.2 s = 2.1 x 10^1 m2) is 210 - 3 s.f. or 2 s.f. ? 3) my teacher uses the question as a guide for s.f., is that correct? e.g. A projectile is fired with an initial speed of 1.12 s at a...
