Question 1: Let's start simple by solving Q. The problem will then give you the rest of the information you
need: the m, c, and the AT (you may need to calculate this by taking the T, -T). In this case, the final temp is
the overheating temp and the initial temp is the working temp of the car.

If the temperature a car will overheat at is 121°C and the average working temperature of the car is 91°C, how
many joules of energy are required to overheat a car with 10,000g of coolant? The specific heat of the coolant
is 2.01 J/g °C.
Equation
Fill in the additional variables:
