    Specific Heat of Nickel / Latent Heat of Fusion

    3.) the source of error in here is the ice that you put on the warm water. you need to put an ice that is free from water(i mean an ice that is not on going a change of state but in zero degree, i hope you undestand.) or droplets of water. because the melted ice or small droplets of water is not...

    Help confusion on heat transfer.

    Homework Statement Calculate the amount (in grams) of ice at 0 degree celsius that must be added to an insulated cup with 250g of water at 40 degree celsius to cool the water to 35 degree celsius. ignore heat transfer to the cup. given data: T(initial) water= 40 celsius T(initial) ice = 0...

    How Is Force Calculated When Pushing a Block at Constant Velocity?

    friction acts on the block opposing the applied force, since you said that the net force must be zero hence! Ffriction=Fapplied? thanks now its getting clearer, but how is it happened that frictional force is equal to applied force? If the two force are equal then there must be no motion...

    How Is Force Calculated When Pushing a Block at Constant Velocity?

    Homework Statement a car with a constant velocity of 1m/s, accidentally hits a huge block with a mass of 300kg. Instead of stopping the driver constantly maintain the speed, pushing the block along the way until the car runs out of fuel. Find the force applied in the block if the coefficient...
