© Mark Schlossman – do not copy or post without permission 3 2. (20 points) A copper beaker weighing 150 g contains 10 g of water at 15 °C. 50 g of water at 90°C are poured into the beaker and the final temperature is 65.7 °C. What is the specific heat capacity of copper? Assume that heat is not exchanged with the surroundings. Hint: Don’t forget that the copper beaker will change temperature along with the water and must be considered in the heat calculations. Solve this by considering an expression for the changes in internal energy D
U
of the 3 components (beaker, 10 g water, and 50 g water). Remember to include units in your answers and show work to earn full or partial credit. Answer: We assume that there are no thermal exchanges with the surroundings and that no work is done. This calculation can also be done without converting to K. Δ

According to Timothy Treadwell in 2001 "Now, the bears I live with average, the
males are on average twelve hundred pounds. They're the largest bears in the

statement.
b. Compute the momentum of a grizzly bear using the speed you calculated in
part a. and the average mass stated by Mr. Treadwell.

Schwarzschild radius RS of a black hole is the maximum
distance from the black hole’s center at which light cannot escape its
gravitational field. The quantity RS (with dimensions of length) is
dependent on the mass of the black hole M, the speed of light c, and
the gravitational constant G. Based on the dimensions of these four
parameters, predict an equation for the Schwarzschild radius. Hint:
G has dimensions of [L3/MT2]
