1 kg of melting ice and 1 kg of boiling water are mixed

AI Thread Summary
Mixing 1 kg of melting ice at 0°C with 1 kg of boiling water at 100°C results in a temperature that requires consideration of latent heat. The latent heat of fusion for ice is crucial to determine how much energy is needed to convert the ice to water. Once the ice is fully melted, the resulting water at 0°C must absorb heat from the boiling water to reach a final equilibrium temperature. The discussion emphasizes that without additional information, such as the specific heat capacities and latent heat values, an exact final temperature cannot be calculated. The consensus is that the final temperature will be lower than 100°C but higher than 0°C.

1. 1 kg of melting ice and 1 kg of boiling water are mixed: Which temperature will have the mixture when all ice is liquefied ?



I don't know if there is formula



The attempt solution: I don't know this question is really hard there are not enough information

I would start by assuming atmospheric pressure, also assuming the ice is at 0°C and boiling water is at 100°C.

mmm 50C ? i don't know :(
 


From my perspective, I would think that you need more information to accurately answer this question. Such as the latent heat of fusion of ice for one.
 


I agree with Taxonfear... solid ice at 0 centigrade has to change into water at 0 centigrade
Then water at 0 centigrade has to be heated to the final temp. All of the energy to do this comes from water at 100 centigrade
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
