How Long Does It Take to Heat Ice from -15C to 55C Water?

AI Thread Summary
To determine how long it takes to heat ice from -15°C to 55°C using a 40-watt hot plate, the heat required (Q) must first be calculated. The formula involves the specific heat capacities and phase changes of ice and water. Once Q is known, the relationship between power, energy, and time can be applied using the equation P = Q/T, where P is power. By rearranging this equation to solve for time (T), the total heating duration can be found. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately calculating the heating time.

Homework Statement


I just solved how much heat is needs to make a -15C ice to 55C water but i don't know how to find how long it takes.

How long will it take to reach 55C?

Are you given a heater of some wattage is being used to provide the heat?
 
yes its a 40 watt hot plate i didnt see that before. So would you do 40w=Q/T(variable)?

Yes, remember that Power = Rate of transfer of energy / time, so you are correct.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
