A 44.0-g block of ice at -15.0°C is dropped into a calorimeter (of negligible heat capacity) containing 100g of water at 5.0°C
When equilibrium is reached, how much of the ice will have melted? The specific heat of ice is 2090 J/kg ? K, that of water is 4186 J/kg ? K, and the latent heat of fusion of water is 33.5 × 104 J/kg. A) 2.1 g B) 21 g C) 5.2 g D) 52 g E) 4.4 g
A CD with a diameter of 12.0 cm starts from rest and with a constant angular acceleration of 1.0 rad/sec2 acquires an angular velocity of 5.0 rad/sec. The CD continues rotating at 5.0 rad/sec for 15.0 seconds and then slows to a stop in 12.0 second with a constant angular deceleration. What is the tangential velocity of a point 4.0 cm from the center at the time 10.0 seconds from the start?
A. 0.50 rad/s B. 0.40 rad/s C. 0.30 rad/s D. 0.20 rad/s E. 0.10 rad/s
