Calculate Resultant Temperature: 100g Steam at 100°C + 500g Ice at -20°C

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the resultant temperature when 100g of steam at 100°C is mixed with 500g of ice at -20°C, the heat transfer must be analyzed. The steam will condense to water, releasing heat, while the ice will absorb heat to reach 0°C and then melt. The key is to determine if the heat released by the steam is sufficient to melt the ice and raise the temperature of the resulting water. The discussion emphasizes the need to apply the equation Q=mCDeltaT to find the final temperature. Understanding the phase changes and heat exchange is crucial for solving this problem.

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...
