Capacity of iron

What was the initial temperature of an iron object weighing 30 kg that absorbed 3.5 kJ of heat when heated to 39°C? The specific heat capacity of iron is 450 J/(kg·°C).

Final Answer:

t1 =  38.7407 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

m=30 kg t2=39 °C Q=3.5 kJ J=3.5 1000  J=3500 J c=450 J/kg/°C  Q = m c (t2t1)  t2t1 = m cQ  t1=t2m cQ=3930 4503500=38.7407°C
