In an experiment on the specific heat of a metal, a $0.20 \;kg$ block of the metal at $150\,^{\circ} C$ is dropped in a copper calorimeter (of water equivalent $0.025 \;kg$ ) containing $150 \;cm ^{3}$ of water at $27\,^{\circ} C$. The final temperature is $40\,^{\circ} C$. Compute the specific heat of the metal. If heat losses to the surroundings are not negligible, is your answer greater or smaller than the actual value for specific heat of the metal?

If two balls of same metal weighing $5\, gm$ and $10\, gm$ strike with a target with the same velocity. The heat energy so developed is used for raising their temperature alone, then the temperature will be higher

The total energy radiated from a black body source is collected for one minute and is used to heat a quantity of water. The temperature of water is found to increase form ${20^o}C$ to ${20.5^o}C$. If the absolute temperature of the black body is doubled and the experiment is repeated with the same quantity of water at ${20^o}C$, the temperature of water will be....... $^oC$
