- Homework Statement
- You decide to throw a frozen chicken out of a 20 m high window. How much do you expect the chicken to warm up by, assuming all of the potential energy converts to thermal energy. Treat the chicken having a specific heat of 4186 J/kg ∙ K.
- Relevant Equations
- PE= mgh
Q= mc delta T
Problem Statement: You decide to throw a frozen chicken out of a 20 m high window. How much do you expect the chicken to warm up by, assuming all of the potential energy converts to thermal energy. Treat the chicken having a specific heat of 4186 J/kg ∙ K.
Relevant Equations: PE= mgh
Q= mc delta T
the options are
0.047 C°
0.071 C°
0.053 C°
Need the mass of the chicken to solveI am leaning towards the last because without the mass how do I go about finding potential energy or even finding the original amount of heat
