Question 12

A metal block of mass 0.35 kg has an initial temperature of 85 ∘C85\text{ }^\circ\text{C}85 ∘C. It is dropped into cold water. The temperature of the block after 2.0 minutes2.0\text{ minutes}2.0 minutes is 25 ∘C25\text{ }^\circ\text{C}25 ∘C.

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 390 J kg-1 K-1.

What is the average thermal power transferred away from the metal block?
