A 254-rad dose of radiation is administered to a patient in an effort to combat a cancerous growth. Assume that all of the energy deposited is absorbed by the growth. (Use 4186 J/kg · °C for the specific heat of water.) (a) Calculate the amount of energy delivered per unit mass. J/kg (b) Assuming the growth has a mass of 0.25 kg and a specific heat equal to that of water, calculate its temperature rise. Your response differs from the...

Part A IN gams: In an experiment, a 0.270-kg piece of ceramic superconducting material at 17 °C is placed in liquid nitrogen at its boiling point (−195.8 °C) to cool. The nitrogen is in a perfectly insulated flask that allows the gaseous N2 to escape immediately. How much mass of liquid nitrogen will be boiled away? (Take the specific heat of the ceramic material to be the same as that of glass.) Part B In m/s: A 85.0-gram lead bullet...
