Answer:
The final temperature of both objects is 400 K
Explanation:
The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;
Q = cΔT
where;
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;
Q(A) = caΔT
where;
ca is the specific heat capacity of object A
The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;
Q(B) = cbΔT
where;
cb is the specific heat capacity of object B
The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A
Q(A) = -Q(B)
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
The final temperature of the two objects is given by
[tex]T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}[/tex]
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
[tex]T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K[/tex]
Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.
