What is the Specific Heat of My Alloy?

AI Thread Summary
The average specific heat of the alloy in question is 289 J/kg°C. The user is seeking to identify the type of metal corresponding to this specific heat value. Various tables of specific heats have not yielded conclusive results. A suggestion was made that mixing copper and gold can produce an alloy with this specific heat. Identifying the exact alloy may require further analysis or testing.

I have an alloy and found the average specific heat of the metal to be 289 J/kg°C. I need to know what type of metal it is. I've looked at several different tables of specific heats, but can't find what I'm looking for. Can anyone help me?

By mixing copper and gold you can get an alloy of specific heat 289 J/kg°C.
 
thank you so much!

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
