Q. A 1 kg block of ice at 0°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. What will be the final temperature of the mixture? (Specific heat of water = 4.2 kJ/kg°C, Latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 kJ/kg) (2021)
A.
0°C
B.
10°C
C.
20°C
D.
15°C
Solution
Heat lost by water = Heat gained by ice. Calculate to find the final temperature.
Q. A 1 kg block of ice at 0°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. What will be the final temperature of the mixture? (Assume no heat loss to the surroundings)
A.
0°C
B.
10°C
C.
15°C
D.
20°C
Solution
Using the principle of conservation of energy, the heat lost by water equals the heat gained by ice. Final temperature can be calculated to be approximately 10°C.
Q. A 1 kg block of ice at 0°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 80°C. What will be the final temperature of the mixture? (Assume no heat loss to the surroundings) (2019)
A.
0°C
B.
40°C
C.
60°C
D.
80°C
Solution
Using the principle of conservation of energy, the heat lost by water equals the heat gained by ice. The final temperature will be 0°C as the ice will melt.
Q. A 1 kg block of metal at 100°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, what is the final temperature of the system? (Specific heat of water = 4.18 kJ/kg°C, specific heat of metal = 0.9 kJ/kg°C) (2020)
A.
25°C
B.
30°C
C.
35°C
D.
40°C
Solution
Using the principle of conservation of energy, set heat lost by metal equal to heat gained by water to find the final temperature.
Q. A 1 kg block of metal at 100°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. Assuming no heat loss to the surroundings, what will be the final temperature? (Specific heat of water = 4.2 kJ/kg°C) (2022)
A.
25°C
B.
30°C
C.
35°C
D.
40°C
Solution
Using the principle of conservation of energy, set heat lost by metal equal to heat gained by water to find the final temperature.
Q. A 1 kg block of metal at 100°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. If the final temperature of the system is 30°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal? (Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C) (2020)
A.
0.5 J/g°C
B.
1.0 J/g°C
C.
1.5 J/g°C
D.
2.0 J/g°C
Solution
Using the principle of conservation of energy, calculate the specific heat capacity of the metal.
Q. A 1 kg block of metal at 100°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. If the final temperature is 30°C, what is the specific heat capacity of the metal? (2023)
A.
0.5 J/kg°C
B.
1 J/kg°C
C.
2 J/kg°C
D.
4 J/kg°C
Solution
Using conservation of energy: m1c1(T1 - Tf) = m2c2(Tf - T2), we find c1 = 2 J/kg°C.
Q. A 1 kg block of metal at 100°C is placed in 2 kg of water at 20°C. What is the final temperature of the system? (Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g°C, specific heat of metal = 0.9 J/g°C) (2021)
A.
25°C
B.
30°C
C.
35°C
D.
40°C
Solution
Using conservation of energy: m1*c1*(T_initial - T_final) = m2*c2*(T_final - T_initial). Solving gives T_final = 35°C.
Q. A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m. What is the maximum extension of the spring when the mass is released from rest?
A.
0.5 m
B.
1 m
C.
2 m
D.
0.25 m
Solution
Using Hooke's law, F = kx, where F = mg = 1 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 9.8 N. Thus, x = F/k = 9.8 N / 200 N/m = 0.049 m.
Q. A 1 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 200 N/m. What is the maximum force exerted by the spring when it is compressed by 0.1 m?
A.
2 N
B.
5 N
C.
20 N
D.
10 N
Solution
Using Hooke's law, F = kx = 200 N/m * 0.1 m = 20 N.
Q. A 1 kg mass is dropped from a height of 10 m. What is the speed just before it hits the ground?
A.
5 m/s
B.
10 m/s
C.
15 m/s
D.
20 m/s
Solution
Using conservation of energy, potential energy at height = kinetic energy just before hitting the ground. mgh = 0.5mv^2. Solving gives v = sqrt(2gh) = sqrt(2*9.8*10) = 14 m/s.
