AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on two physics problems involving heat transfer and energy conservation. Problem 12 requires calculating the final temperature of a soup after adding a cube of ice, using specific heat and latent heat values. Key assumptions include that energy is conserved within the ice-soup system and determining whether the final state is at the melting point of the ice or thermal equilibrium. Problem 13 involves calculating the temperature rise in brake disks after an automobile comes to a stop, applying the first law of thermodynamics and distributing kinetic energy among the disks. Participants express a need for step-by-step guidance to solve these problems effectively.

Just these two problems ! I'll be done. :)

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..

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.

Note: I really am lost? Need step-by-step help!

a start: energy is conserved
 
Problem 12 assumptions:
- All energy is contained in the ice/soup system. In other words:
Qice = -Qsoup.
- Decide whether the final state is the state right at the melting of the last little bit of ice or the state at which the melted ice/soup system attains equilibrium.
- If you decide that the final state is the former, then assume that the melted ice does not take any energy from the soup. In other words, the melted ice stays at 0o C.

Then, you have either one or two (heat transfer0) processes to calculate.


Problem 13:
They give you the assumptions that you need to make. Use the first law of thermodynamics.
 
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...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
