AI Thread Summary
Two pitchers of lemonade, one made of copper and the other of glass, each weighing 965 g, absorb 1,000 J of energy in 10 minutes. Over one hour, they absorb a total of 6,000 J. The temperature increase for copper is calculated to be 16°C, while for glass it is 7.4°C, using the formula Q=mcΔT. The specific heat capacities for copper and glass are 3.8 x 10^2 J/(kg°C) and 8.4 x 10^2 J/(kg°C), respectively. The discussion concludes with a successful calculation of temperature changes for both materials.

Homework Statement



Two pitchers of lemonade are left sitting in the sun at a picnic. One pitcher is made of copper and the other of glass. If each empty pitcher has a mass of 965 g and absorbs 1.0 x 10^3 J of energy 10.0 minutes, calculate the temperature increase of both empty pitchers in 1.0 hours.

Homework Equations



Q=mcΔT

The Attempt at a Solution



I still have no idea.
I tried rearranging the equations... and turning it into seconds...
My book says the answer for copper is 16°C and glass is 7.4°C.

If the pitchers absorb 1000J of energy in 10 minutes, how much energy will they absorb in 1 hour?

1000J in 10 minutes
60/10 = 6
∴ 6 x 1000 = 6000J in one hour?
 
Yes, now use that value for Q.

but isn't Q already 6000J/h? i am looking for temperature which is T.. so should i rearrange fore T= Q/mc ?

Q= heat or energy absorbed (J) = 6000J/h
m= mass (kg) = 0.965kg
c= specific heat capacity(J/(kg°C) ) = for copper: 3.8 x 10^2 and for glass: 8.4 x 10^2


right?
 
YAY! from that, I got it. Thank you! :)
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
