Calorimetry: A 44.0-g block of ice at -15.0°C is dropped into a calorimeter (of negligible heat capacity) containing 100 g 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 physics student is riding on a train traveling north. Having read about inertia, the student performs an experiment with a golf ball. He reaches over the aisle and drops the ball from rest. Instead of hitting the floor directly below the student's hand, it hits to the north, i.e., forward of that position. Which of the following might be the cause for this to happen?
a. The train is moving at constant velocity. c. The train is slowing down. b. The train is speeding up. d. Whatever the cause, it cannot be any of the answers given.
