Yes, this sounds bizarre. I’ve told some women/girls I listen to classical music when they ask me, “What do you listen to?”. They end up ranting at me, calling me a nerd, dork, freak, gay etc.
Wow, I listen to a different type of genre than most guys. I find it rather pathetic that women insult men who are more cultured. It must be a Welsh thing.

A 0.350 kg piece of metal at 1000C is dropped into a 0.100 kg aluminum cup containing 0.500 kg of water at 150C. The final temperature of the system is 400C. What is the specific heat of the metal, assuming no heat is exchanged with the surroundings? The specific heat of aluminum is 900 J/kgoC, and the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg oC.
