Specific latent heat and heat capacity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the final temperature of lemonade after adding 0.1 kg of ice at 0 degrees Celsius. The total energy loss from the ice melting is calculated to be 33,600 J, using the specific latent heat of fusion of ice. The heat capacity of the lemonade is determined to be 1,386 J based on its mass and specific heat capacity. The temperature drop of the lemonade is found to be approximately 24.24 degrees Celsius. Consequently, the final temperature of the lemonade is calculated to be about 3.80 degrees Celsius.

Homework Statement



0.1kg of ice was added to a lemonade of mass 330g at an initial temperature of 28 degree celcius and it completely melted. Considering only the lemonade and ice cubes, calculate the final temperature of the lemonade.

Given: specific latent heat of fusion of ice= 336000 J/kg
specific heat capacity of lemonade= 4200 J/kg


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



total energy loss by ice cubes= 0.1kg * 336,000J
=33,600J

heat capacity of 330g of lemonade=0.33kg * 4200 J/kg
= 1,386J

Total temperature fall by lemonade=33,600J / 1,386J
=24.24242424

Final temperature=Initial temperature - fall in temperature
= 28-24.242424
= 3.80 degree celcius (3 s.f.)

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...
