In the morning of a hot day, you and your friends decide to have a picnic. You buy some drinks and load them, with ice, in a cooler. In order to keep the drinks as cold as possible, one of your friends decides to cover the cooler with a wool blanket. Would this actually keep the drinks cold or it just going to warm them?

In 1986, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 160 km long, 40.0 km wide, and 250 m thick. (a) What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917kg/m3 ? (b) How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt it? (c) How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 100W/m2, 12.00 h per day?
The surface area of an unclothed person is 1.50 m2, and his skin temperature is 33.0C. The person is located in a dark room with a temperature of 20.0C, and the emissivity of the skin is e = 0.95. (a) At what rate is energy radiated by the body? (b) What is the significance of the sign of your answer?

We often cut a watermelon in half and put it into the freezer to cool it quickly. But usually we forget to check on it and end up having a watermelon with a frozen layer on the top. To avoid this potential problem a person wants to set the timer such that it will go off when the temperature of the exposed surface of the watermelon drops to 3°C. Consider a 25-cm-diameter spherical watermelon that is cut into two equal parts and put into a freezer at -12°C. Initially, the entire watermelon is at a uniform temperature of 25°C, and the heat transfer coefficient on the surfaces is 22 W/m2·K. Assuming the watermelon to have the properties of water, determine how long it will take for the center of the exposed cut surfaces of the watermelon to drop to 3°C.
Problem 5: You are on your way to a party when the host asks you to pick up a bag of ice. At the grocery store you grab a 5-kg bag that was kept at a temperature of -5.2°C. When you get to the party, you find a large cooler to put the ice in. There is already 32 L (i.e., 32 kg) of water in the cooler at a temperature of 19°C. You toss the ice into the water and close the lid. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4186 J/(kg.C) and 3.34 x 10 J/kg, respectively. The specific heat of ice near its freezing point is 2000 J/(kg.°C). D A Find the temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the water in the cooler after the party. Assume the ice maintains its temperature on the way to the party and the cooler is well insulated.

While hanging out in Lab, you decide to conduct another calorimetry experiment, but this time, you want to do it on a bit larger scale. You place 3.8 kg of water in a large aluminum can that has a mass of 15 kg. You heat the water and can up to an initial temperature of 80◦ C, and then slowly add 400 g of ice that has an initial temperature of −10◦ C. You stir the ice and water until all of the ice melts, and the system comes to an equilibrium temperature of 32◦ C. You feel good about things until you realize that you did not cover the aluminum can and that some heat was lost to the environment during the experiment. Use the information provided to calculate the amount of heat that was lost to the environment.
I set the house temperature to 66 deg Fahrenheit at night time. On a cold morning, I measure the temperature of various objects in my room. I should find that a) all objects have the same temperature. b) metallic objects and floor tiles have a lower temperature compared to others. c) all objects have the same temperature except my body which is warmer.
If you lie on the ground at night with no cover, you get cold rather quickly. Much of this is due to energy loss by radiation. At night in a dry climate, the temperature of the sky can drop to -40◦F. If you are lying on the ground with thin clothing that provides little insulation, the surface temperature of your skin and clothes will be about 86 ◦F. Estimate the net rate at which your body loses energy by radiation to the night sky under these conditions.

A thermos contains 120 cm3 of coffee at 85° C. To cool the coffee, you drop two 13-g ice cubes into the thermos. The ice cubes are initially at 0° C and melt completely. What is the final temperature of the coffee? Treat the coffee as if it were water.
You are on your way to a party when the host asks you to pick up a bag of ice. At the grocery store you grab a 5-kg bag that was kept at a temperature of -3.4°C. When you get to the party, you find a large cooler to put the ice in. There is already 29 L (i.e., 29 kg) of water in the cooler at a temperature of 19°C. You toss the ice into the water and close the lid. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4186 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34 × 105 J/kg, respectively. The specific heat of ice near its freezing point is 2000 J/(kg⋅°C). Find the temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the water in the cooler after the party. Assume the ice maintains its temperature on the way to the party and the cooler is well insulated.
A styrofoam container used as a picnic cooler contains a block of ice at 0°C. If 564 g of ice melts in 1 hour, how much heat energy per second is passing through the walls of the container? The heat of fusion of ice is 3.33 x 10° J/kg. Answer in units of W.
