AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a calorimetry problem involving a nurse cooling a 2.40 L bottle of soft drink by adding ice and using an aluminum mug. The key equations used include heat transfer calculations for the ice, soft drink, and mug, with specific heat capacities and latent heat values provided. The user initially struggles with the calculations but ultimately concludes that the final temperature of the system is 15.1 degrees Celsius. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly applying the principles of heat transfer and ensuring all components are accounted for in the calculations. The final result indicates successful problem-solving despite initial confusion.

Homework Statement



A thirsty nurse cools a 2.40 L bottle of a soft drink (mostly water) by pouring it into a large aluminum mug of mass 0.250 kg and adding 0.123 kg of ice initially at -15.5 degree celsius . If the soft drink and mug are initially at 20.2 degree celsius, what is the final temperature of the system, assuming no heat losses?

Homework Equations



Q1+Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5=0
Q=Mc(change in T)
Q=ML
C ice= 2010 (given)
C water = 4190 (given)
C Al= 904
L = 3.34*10^5 (given)
M drink = Density *Volume = (1000)(.0024)=2.4

The Attempt at a Solution



Q1=M ice (C ice) (Temp) = .123(2010)(0--15.5) = 3832
Q2=M ice (L) = .123 (3.34*10^5) = 41082
Q3=M ice (C water) (Temp) = .123 (4190)(T-0) = 515.4 (T)
Q4=M drink (C water) (Temp) = 2.4 (4190) (T-20.2) = 10056 (T-20.2)
Q5=M Al (C Al) (Temp) = .25(904)(T-20.2) = 226 (T-20.2)

(3832)+(41082)+515.4 (T) + 10056 (T-20.2) + 226 (T-20.2) = 0

I keep getting the wrong answer. I think I am missing a Q or misinterpreting one of them

never mind I was right 15.1 is the final temp
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
