A 90kg person jumps from a 30m tower into a tub of water with a volume of 5cm^3 initially at 20 degree celsius. Assuming that all of the work done by the person is converted into thermal energy of the water, what is the final temperature of the water?

Answer :

ustsr

The final temperature of the water is about 21°C

Further explanation

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise temperature of 1 kg body for 1°C.

[tex]\large {\boxed{Q = m \times c \times \Delta t} }[/tex]

Q = Energy ( Joule )

m = Mass ( kg )

c = Specific Heat Capacity ( J / kg°C )

Δt = Change In Temperature ( °C )

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given:

initial temperature of water = t_o = 20°C

specific heat capacity of water = c = 4186 J/kg°C

density of water = ρ = 1000 kg/m³

volume of water = V = 5 dm³ = 5 × 10⁻³ m³

mass of person = m₁ = 90 kg

height of tower = h = 30 m

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Asked:

final temperature of the water = t = ?

Solution:

Firstly, I have corrected the volume of water to 5 dm³ to make it more reasonable.

We can calculate the final temperature of the water by using Conservation of Energy as shown below:

[tex]\texttt{Potential Energy of The Person = Heat Energy of Water}[/tex]

[tex]E_p = Q[/tex]

[tex]m_1gh = m_2c \Delta t[/tex]

[tex]m_1gh = \rho V c \Delta t[/tex]

[tex]m_1gh = \rho V c (t - t_o)[/tex]

[tex](m_1gh) \div (\rho V c) = (t - t_o)[/tex]

[tex]t = t_o + [ (m_1gh) \div (\rho V c) ][/tex]

[tex]t = 20 + [ (90(9.8)(30)) \div (1000 ( 5 \times 10^{-3} ) ( 4186) ) ][/tex]

[tex]t = 20 + [ 26460 \div 20930 ][/tex]

[tex]t \approx 21^o C[/tex]

What is specific heat ?

specific heat, the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one Celsius degree.

Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise temperature of 1 kg body for 1°C.

[tex]Q=m\times c\times \Delta t[/tex]

Q = Energy ( Joule )

m = Mass ( kg )

c = Specific Heat Capacity ( J / kg°C )

Firstly, I have corrected the volume of water to 5 dm³ to make it more reasonable.

We can calculate the final temperature of the water by using Conservation of Energy as shown below:

Potential energy of a person = Heat energy of water

[tex]m_1gh=m_2c\Delta t[/tex]

[tex]m_1gh=\rho Vc\Delta t[/tex]

[tex]m_1gh=\rhoVc(t-t_o)[/tex]

[tex](t-t_o)=\dfrac{m_1gh}{\rho Vc}[/tex]

[tex]t=t_o+\dfrac{m_1gh}{\rho Vc}[/tex]

[tex]t=t_o+\dfrac{(90(9.8)(30)}{(1000(5\times10^{-3})(4186)}[/tex]

[tex]t=20+\dfrac{26460}{20930}[/tex]

[tex]t=20^oc[/tex]

Thus the final temperature of the water will be equal to 21°C
