1. Suppose that after you measure the specific heat Cs of thebrass sample, you repeated your measurements with another brasssample, of twice the mass. What result would you expect, andwhy?

2. Rewrite Eq. (3.1) (Ms cs (Ts-Tf)=Mc Cc (Tf-T0) so that it isin the form Cs=....

3. Suppose you want to find the intersecion (x,y) fo twostraight lines,

y=m1x+b1

y=m2x+b2

You are given values for the slopes m1 and m2, as well as forthe intercepts b1 and b2. At the point where the lines intersect,both lines will have the same values of x and y. For this point ofintersection, solve the pair of equations shown above to eliminatex. Your final result should be an dexpression y=... Where the righthand side depends only on M1, m2, b1, and b2.

4. ORDER OF MAGNITUDE ESTIMATION; supposed tha you drank 16 oz.of an ice- cold soft drink. If your body were unable to adjust itsown temperature, how much woudl your body temperature decrease?

-State which physcial quantities are applicable.

-State your assumptions clearly (Hint: what is your body mostlymade of?)

-Write down an appropriate formula.

-Show your calculations and a result.
