    How to Determine the Initial Temperature of Iron to Melt Ice in Thermodynamics?

    yep sorry confused myself with another question that melts 5g of ice. thanks for all the help guys

    How to Determine the Initial Temperature of Iron to Melt Ice in Thermodynamics?

    ok i just realized a mistake -Ti iron = (-5g x 334J)/(0.44J/g x 250g) = 15.18 does that sound right? thanks

    How to Determine the Initial Temperature of Iron to Melt Ice in Thermodynamics?

    although this doesn't seem right when i plug in the given variables in part D iron M = 250g, ice m = 48g and the specific heat of iro in 0.44J / g ºC. given Lf ice= 334J/g Ti iron = (-48x334)/(0.44x250)-0 = -145.7454545 ? that can't be right

    How to Determine the Initial Temperature of Iron to Melt Ice in Thermodynamics?

    thank u so much, so after well cancel out n simplify is it safe to say T_i = (- m_{ice}L_f)/(m_{iron}c_{iron})-T_f n once again guys thankyou for all your help its hugely appreciated.

    How to Determine the Initial Temperature of Iron to Melt Ice in Thermodynamics?

    thank you, but I am still a bit confused i didnt incorporate \Delta Q=c_{H_2O}m\Delta T because it doesn't say anything about the water changing temperature. only that it melts, so figure it was only a phase change. if the water only changes phase and remains at zero degrees does that not...

    How to Determine the Initial Temperature of Iron to Melt Ice in Thermodynamics?

    I have exactly the same problem is it possible to incorporate equation Q=mLf? c1m1(Tf-Ti)=m2Lf if so how would this be rearranged? would this be correct Ti=((m2Lf)/(c1/m1))-Tf so confused will appreciate any help at all

    What Is the Speed of the Second Puck After a Head-On Collision?

    Hey guys, had the same problem. Remember V is a vector quantity so if the pucks are heading toward each other one will be a negative quantity. eg: (.16x18)+(.16x-12)=(.16x2)+(.16xV2) so the answer is 4 not 28 Momentum Conservation .96=.96
