Answer to Problem 101A
The increase in temperature during the fall is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of copper is
The falling height is
The velocity of copper is
Formula used:
The expression for kinetic energy is
Here,
The expression for the potential energy is
Here,
The expression for the heat transfer is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the acceleration due to gravity as
Consider the specific heat of copper as
The potential energy of the copper is,
The final energy of the copper is,
The heat added to the piece is,
The increase in temperature during the fall is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the increase in temperature during the fall is
