A cup of tea contains 175 g of water at a temperature of 85.0 °C. Milk at a temperature of 4.5 °C is added to the tea and the temperature of the mixture becomes 74.0 °C. What is the internal energy lost by the water? What is the mass of the milk?

(a) In a question like this, you will be given that the Specific Heat Capacity of water is 4200Jkg-1K-1. However, commiting this to memory will be helpful.

A satellite is in a stationary orbit above a planet of mass 8.9 x 10^25 kg and period of rotation 1.2 x 10^5 s. Calculate the radius of the satellite's orbit from the centre of the planet.

A body in a stationary orbit will always remain above the same point on the planet as it orbits. For a body to be in such an orbit, it must rotate around the planet in the same direction as the spin of...
