Problem 24P A 30-g ice cube at its melting point is dropped into an insulated container of liquid nitrogen. How much nitrogen evaporates if it is at its boiling point of 77 K and has a latent heat of vaporization of 200kJ/kg? Assume for simplicity that the specific heat of ice is a constant and is equal to its value near its melting point.

Question
Problem 58GP
A leaf of area 40 cm2 and mass 4.5 × 10−4kg directly faces the Sun on a clear day. The leaf has an emissivity of 0.85 and a specific heat of 0.80 kcal/kg·K. (a) Estimate the rate of rise of the leaf’s temperature. (b) Calculate the temperature the leaf would reach if it lost all its heat by radiation to the surroundings at 20°C. (c) In what other ways can the heat be dissipated by the leaf?
Solution
The first step in solving 14 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 58GPA leaf of area 40 cm2 and mass 4.5 × 10−4kg directly faces the Sun on a clear day. The leaf has an emissivity of 0.85 and a specific heat of 0.80 kcal/kg·K. (a) Estimate the rate of rise of the leaf’s temperature. (b) Calculate the temperature the leaf would reach if it lost all its heat by radiation to the surroundings at 20°C. (c) In what other ways can the heat be dissipated by the leaf?
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday's Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
