You are boiling pasta and absentmindedly grab a copper stirring spoon rather than your wooden spoon. The copper spoon has a 25 mm x 1.8 mm rectangular cross section, and the distance from the boiling water to your 35°C hand is 18 cm. How long does it take the spoon to transfer 40 J of energy to your hand?
You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 25 m long, and 25 m wide. Your client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to 30°C in 3 h. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960 W/m2, and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30°C at those conditions. Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in kW input) would you recommend to your client?

You then place the beaker with the ice on 0 the temperature of the ice is -18 = a hot plate, and turn on the hot plate. This hot plate adds heat to the ice at a rate of 330 W. At time t °C. Because of the large heat capacity of water and ice, you may assume in this problem that all the heat goes into the sample of ice, and that we can ignore the amount of heat going into the beaker and thermometer. Also assume no heat escapes from the system.
