An 90 g aluminum calorimeter contains 390 g of water at an equilibrium temperature of 200C. A 160 g piece of metal, intially at 3050 C, is added to the calorimeter. The final temperature at equilibrium is 320 C. Assume there is no external heat exchange. The specific heat capacities of aluminum and water are 910 and 4190 J/kg. K, respectively. The specific heat capacity of the metal is closest to:

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
