Final Temperature of 75g Silicon After 750 Calories Transfer

AI Thread Summary
To determine the final temperature of a 75g sample of silicon after transferring 750 calories of energy, the specific heat formula is essential. The specific heat capacity of silicon is needed to calculate the temperature change. The discussion highlights a lack of understanding regarding the application of heat transfer principles and specific heat equations. It suggests reviewing textbook materials on specific heat and heat flow. A deeper study of the relevant concepts is recommended for better comprehension.

Homework Statement


A 75 gram sample of silicon is at 25 degrees C. If 750 calories of energy is transferred to the silicon what is its final temperature?


Homework Equations


Not sure at all with this one. Please give any suggestions.


The Attempt at a Solution

Don't know where to begin. I think that I am missing some small detail. I have not been able to find a formula for this situation.

Maybe you should reread your textbook on specific heat and how heat flows when you mix things of different temperatures together. I notice you have posted three questions on similar problems. That says you haven't studied enough.

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...
