I am attempting to help my nephew with the problem but I can't remember how to go about setting up a problem like this, I don't need the answer, just some help on setting it up.

A tub of icy water at 0 degrees C hold 100 gallons. You put a 25 pound watermelon with a temperature of 29.4 degrees C. The tub is wrapped in blankets to avoid heat loss. What will be the final temperature of the watermelon, considering that a watermelon is mostly water?

How can I determine the heat loss of person from sweating when given the weight of the person and the weight of the amount of sweat that was evaporated throughout the day?

A rocket shoots upward with a velocity of 500 feet/sec. Neglecting air resistance, how high will it travel? Is that even enough info to solve the problem? I don't remember how to solve that.
