Physics specific heat capacity
I have to find the specific heat capacity of a rock that is 1910J/Kg Cdegrees. It has rock mass of 0.275kg. Falls from rest from a height of 28.5m and into a containing 0.480kg water. The rock and water has the same initial temp.
I'm using this equation: T= Mrock(gh) CrockMrock + CwaterMwater I'm getting an answer of 0.030 Cdegrees but my computer assignment is saying this is the wrong answer. Please help me. |

Your second equation is missing something. Besides, it is not clear how you used these two equations together. Or is this one equation? Remember also: what you have calculated using potential energy of the stone and heat balance is the temperature increment, not the temperature itself. |
