- Occasionally, huge icebergs are found floating on the ocean's currents. Suppose one such iceberg has a regular volume and is 120 km long, 35 km wide, and 230 m thick. (1) How much heat would be required to melt this iceberg (assumed to be at 0°C) into liquid water at 0°C? (The density of ice is 917 kg/m³. The latent heat of fusion for ice is 33.5x104 J/kg.) (ii) Assume the average annual energy consumption by a developed country in the past years was 9.3 x1o19 J. If this energy were delivered to the iceberg every year, how many years would it take before the ice is completely melted?arrow_forward35. when we are hot, our body automatically increases the rate of perspiration. This helps our body to cool down, mainly because: (a) The more liquid (water) we loose, the less mass remains in the body, and therefore total internal energy of the body decreases. (b) The sweat evaporates, and it takes the heat of evaporation from our body. (c) The relative humidity in the vicinity of our body increases, causing the skin to "feel" colder even though temperature has not decreased. (d) Sweat is hot, therefore as body losses it, we feel colder.arrow_forwardTo help prevent frost damage, 4.77 kg of 0°C water is sprayed onto a fruit tree. The latent heat of fusion of water is 79.8 kcal/kg.
