Explanation:
The quantity of heat required to melt the ice can be found by the relation .
ΔQ = m x L
here L is used for the latent heat of fusion .
Its value is 334 J per gram for ice .
Thus m = =
= 2836 gram
or = 2.8 kg approx
The final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.
Explanation:
As it is stated that the lorry was in standstill position before travelling a distance or covering a distance of 3600 m, the initial velocity is considered as zero. Then, it is stated that the lorry travels with constant acceleration. So we can use the equations of motion to determine the final velocity of the lorry when it reaches 3600 m distance.
Thus, a initial velocity (u) = 0, acceleration a = 3 m/s² and the displacement s is 3600 m. The third equation of motion should be used to determine the final velocity as below.
Then, the final velocity will be
Thus, the final velocity of the truck is found as 146.969 m/s.
