150.0 grams of iron at 95.0 °C, is placed in an insulated container containing 500.0 grams of water. The temperature of the water increases to 27.2°C. What was the initial temperature of the water? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g °C and the specific heat of iron is 0.444 J/g °C

Explanation:

in it I mass=150g,initial temp 1=95,mass2=500g,temp2=?,final temperature=27.2 C1=0.444C2=4.18

using formula

m1c1(final temp-initial temp1) =m2c2(temp2-final temp)

150x0.444(27.2-95)=500x4.18(?-27.2)

66(-67.8)=2000(?-27.5)

-4474.8=2000?-55000

collect like terms

-4474.8+55000=2000?

50525=2000?

divide both sides by 2000

2000?/2000=50525/2000

initial temperature =25.26 degree Celsius

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
