**Question:** What effect does condensation on a glass of ice water have on the rate at which the ice melts? Will the condensation speed up the melting process or slow it down?**Detailed Explanation:** When water vapor in the air condenses on the surface of the glass, it releases latent heat. This heat can contribute to melting the ice more rapidly. The condensation process thus generally speeds up the melting of ice in a glass.

Condensation is the process by which a substance changes its phase from the gaseous state to the…

A meteor melts when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere. Assuming that the meteor is primarily made of iron and that its initial temperature was −125°C outside of Earth’s atmosphere, calculate the minimum speed it must have had before it entered Earth’s atmosphere. (The specific heat, the melting point, and the latent heat of fusion for iron are 450 J/kg.°C, 1808°C, and 2.89 x 10^5 J/kg , respectively.)
A tank of water has been outdoors in cold weather, and a slab of ice 4.8 cm thick has formed on its surface (see the figure). The air above the ice is at -7.4°C. Calculate the rate of formation of ice (in centimeters per hour) on the ice slab. Take the thermal conductivity of ice to be 0.0040 cal/s-cm-C, its density to be 0.92 g/cm2, and its latent heat of fusion to be 333 kJ/kg. Assume no energy transfer through the tank walls or bottom.

A brass (a=19 x 10-6 °c- 1 ) ring of diameter 10.01 cm at 20.0°C is heated and slipped over an aluminum rod (a = 24 x 10-60c-1 ) of diameter 10.4 cm at 20.0°C. Assuming the average coefficients of linear expansion are constant, to what temperature (in c-1) must this combination be cooled to separate them?
Your car’s radiator is made of steel and is filled with coolant. You fill the radiator to the very top with coolant, then drive off without remembering to replace the cap.
