A 1.2-kg hot iron sphere with heat capacity
576 J °C-1 is cooled by immersing it in a tank of
water (Fig g). (See the photo that I uploaded)The mass of the water is 3 kg and
its initial temperature is 12 °C. After 5 minutes,
both the iron sphere and the water reach a final
temperature of 15 °C.
(a) Find the energy gained by the water.
(b) Find the average rate of energy transfer from
the iron sphere to the water.
(c) What is the initial temperature of the iron
sphere?
