AI Thread Summary
To melt 104 grams of ice at 0°C into water at the same temperature, the latent heat of fusion is required, which is 3.33 x 10² J/g. The total heat needed can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the ice by the latent heat of fusion. In this case, 104 grams of ice would require 34,632 Joules of heat. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding phase changes and the application of the latent heat formula. The original poster ultimately resolved their question independently.

Hi again..

i've been working on my prelab for my physics lab, I've pretty much solved everything except for this last problem, if anyone could help me out, it'd be appreciated

thanks

Q1.

How much heat is needed for 104 grams of ice at 0° to melt into 0° water? The latent heat of fusion for ice is 3.33*105 J/kg or 3.33*102 J/g.

I'd hate to just give you a formula without seeing what you've tried. All of the heat is used in the phase change: the latent heat of fusion tells you how much heat is required to melt a given amount of ice. You are told how much ice you have. Does that make sense?
 
nevvver mind i got it... i don't even know why i asked it in the first place, thanks anyway though!
 

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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
