Two iron balls of different mass are heated to 100°C and dropped in water. If the same amount of heat is lost by the
two balls to water, what can be said about the final temperatures of the two balls? (Heat lost = mCAT, where m=
mass of the object, Co - specific heat capacity of the material, and AT = change in temperature).
Both balls will have the same temperature as the heat lost by both balls is
the same.
Both balls will have the same temperature as the specific heat capacities of
both balls are the same.
The lighter ball will have a higher temperature because the change of
temperature is directly proportional to mass.
The heavier ball will have a higher temperature because the change of
temperature is inversely proportional to mass.
