The value of specific heat for copper is 390 J/kg⋅°C, for aluminun is 900 J/kg⋅°C, and for water is 4186 J/kg⋅°C. What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 265 g block of copper at 235°C is placed in a 135g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 865 g of water at 14.0°C? Express your answer using three significant figures.

the equilibrium temperature Te = 19.9°C

Explanation:

Given;

specific heat for copper Cc is 390 J/kg⋅°C

for aluminun Ca is 900 J/kg⋅°C,

for water Cw is 4186 J/kg⋅°C

Mass of copper Mc= 265 g = 0.265kg

Temperature of copper Tc = 235°C

Mass of aluminium Ma = 135g = 0.135 kg

Temperature of aluminium Ta = 14.0°C

Mass of water Mw= 865 g = 0.865kg

Temperature of water Tw = 14.0°C

The equilibrium temperature can be derived by;

Te = (MaCaTa + McCcTc + MwCwTw)/(MaCa + McCc+ MwTw)

Substituting the values;

Te = ( 0.135×900×14 + 0.265×390×235 + 0.865×4186×14)/(0.135×900 + 0.265×390 + 0.865×4186)

Te = 19.939°C

Te = 19.9°C

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
