What is the final temperature of the soup after the ice has melted?

In summary, when a driver brakes an automobile, part of the car's translational kinetic energy is converted to internal energy. The temperature of the brakes can rise by a certain amount depending on the materials used.

Problem 9.
A student drops metallic objects into a
224 g steel container holding 325 g of water
at 28±C. One object is a 472 g cube of copper
that is initially at 87 degrees C, and the other is a
chunk of aluminum that is initially at 9 degreesC.
To the students's surprise, the water reaches
a final temperature of 28 degreesC, precisely where
it started.
What is the mass of the aluminum chunk?
Assume the specifc heat of copper and alu-
minum are 387 J/kg degrees C
± C and 899 J/kg degrees C

Note: Would you used: m*c*delta t = m*c*delta t
If so what's next?

Problem 12.
Given: specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg degrees Ceicuis
and water's latent heat of fusion = 3.33 *10^5 J/kg.

A 0.012 kg cube of ice at 0.0degrees Ceicuis is added to
0.459 kg of soup at 80.4degrees Ceicuis.
Assuming that the soup has the same specific
heat capacity as water, find the final tem-
perature of the soup after the ice has melted.
Answer in units of degrees Ceicuis.

Set it up and solve!
[tex]m_1c_1\Delta t_1 = m_2c_2\Delta t_2[/tex]

Problem 12.
...
Assuming that the soup has the same specific
heat capacity as water, find the final tem-
perature of the soup after the ice has melted.
Realize that whatever heat is removed from the soup, goes into (1) melting the ice (2) heating up the water from that ice.

some help!

Problem 011. A sample of lead used to make a lead sinker
for fshing has an initial temperature of 25.7degrees C
and is poured into a mold immediately after
it has melted.
How much energy is needed to melt 0.274
kg of lead? Assume the specifc heat, the
latent heat and the melting point of lead are
128 J/kg * degrees C, 2.45*10^4 J/kg and 327.3 degreesC
respectively. Answer in units of J.

Note: Would it be done this way
1. delta T=100-25.7=74.3
Q1=(0.274kg)(128)=74.3
Is this right? If not what should I do?

Problem 13.When a driver brakes an automobile, fric-
tion between the brake disks and the brake
pads converts part of the car's translational
kinetic energy to internal energy.
If a 1610 kg automobile traveling at 28 m/s
comes to a halt after its brakes are applied,
how much can the temperature rise in each
of the four 3.8 kg steel brake disks? Assume
the disks are made of iron (cp = 448 J/kg *
degrees C)
and that all of the kinetic energy is distributed
in equal parts to the internal energy of the
brakes. Answer in units of degrees C.

Do it step by step. First find the energy needed to raise the temperature to the melting point. (Note: the melting point is not 100°!) Then find the energy needed to melt the lead.

Problem 13.When a driver brakes an automobile, fric-
tion between the brake disks and the brake
pads converts part of the car's translational
kinetic energy to internal energy.
...
Start by finding how much heat is generated: Find the KE of the car.

rds to problem 12

I used
m*c*delta T=m*c*delta T

where I used the c as 4186J/kg*C for both of the specific heats. Is this right?

I have solved all of my problems for my homework except for 12 and 13. Where I am clueless. Need step-by-step help.

What is the best approach to solving tough physics problems?

The best approach to solving tough physics problems is to break them down into smaller, more manageable parts. Start by reviewing the problem and identifying what is known and what is unknown. Then, use the appropriate equations and principles to solve for the unknown variable. It may also be helpful to draw diagrams or create visual representations to better understand the problem.

How do I improve my problem-solving skills in physics?

Improving problem-solving skills in physics takes practice and persistence. It is important to have a strong understanding of fundamental concepts and equations, as well as the ability to apply them in various situations. Take time to work through practice problems and seek help from peers or instructors when needed. Additionally, developing critical thinking skills and being able to think outside the box can also be beneficial.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when solving tough physics problems?

Some common mistakes to avoid when solving tough physics problems include not fully understanding the problem, using incorrect equations or principles, and making calculation errors. It is important to carefully read and analyze the problem, double check all equations and calculations, and pay attention to units and significant figures.

How can I apply physics principles to real-life situations?

Physics principles can be applied to real-life situations in various ways. This can include understanding and predicting the behavior of objects in motion, designing and building structures or machines, and exploring natural phenomena such as electricity and magnetism. Additionally, many modern technologies, such as smartphones and GPS, rely on principles of physics.

What resources are available to help with solving tough physics problems?

There are many resources available to help with solving tough physics problems. These can include textbooks, online tutorials and videos, study groups, and tutoring services. Additionally, many universities and colleges offer academic support centers where students can receive one-on-one help with difficult problems. It is also helpful to utilize office hours and seek assistance from instructors or teaching assistants.
