Homework Statement


A paddle turns at 28.0 rad/s and exerts a torque of 16.0 Nm to stir the paint.
Internal energy increase of 12.5kJ causes the temperature of the paint to increase by 1.00K.
If there where no heat flow between the paint and the surroundings, what is the change in temperature as it is stirred for 5mins?


Homework Equations


Change of Internal energy, Delta U = Q * Wd
(first law of thermodynamics)

The Attempt at a Solution


I do not know how to start nor attempt...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is there an equation that relates power, torque, and angular velocity?

They tell you how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of the paint 1 K.

If we can figure the power input, then we can figure the energy added in 5 minutes (think of definition of power).
