A248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 ml of water at 22.6 °c. the final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °c. calculate the initial temperature of the piece of copper. assume that all heat transfer occurs between the copper and the water. remember, the density of water is 1.0 g/m

Standing side by side ,you and a friend step off a bridge at different times and fall for 1.6s to the water below.your friend goes first,and you follow after he has dropped a distance of 2.0m.when your friend hits the water,is the seperation between the two of you 2.0m or more than 2.0m? verify your answer with a calculation.
