Serway & Jewett — The First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 9.
A 3.00-g copper coin at \(25.0^{\circ}\text{C}\) drops 50.0 m to the ground. (a) Assuming 60.0% of the change in gravitational potential energy of the coin–Earth system goes into increasing the internal energy of the coin, determine the coin’s final temperature. (b) What If? Does the result depend on the mass of the coin? Explain.
