A 20.0g sample of metal with a specific heat of 5 J/(g°C) raised it's initial temperature to 40.0 when 500J heat was added. What was the initial temperature of the metal?

The initial temperature of the metal = 35 °C

Heat can be formulated :

Q = m . c . ΔT

Q = heat, J

c = specific heat, J/g C

ΔT = temperature, °C

m = 20 g

c = 5 J/(g°C)

Q = 500 J

T₁ = 40 C

the initial temperature :

some sources quote the lethal dose, for an average 170lbs opiate-naive individual is between 75 and 375 mg

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied
