High-altitude mountain climbers do not eat snow, but always melt it first with a stove. To see why, calculate the energy absorbed from a climber's body under the following conditions. The specific heat of ice is 2100 J/kg?C?, the latent heat of fusion is 333 kJ/kg, the specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg?C?.

A) Calculate the energy absorbed from a climber's body if he eats 0.45 kg of -15?C snow which his body warms to body temperature of 37?C. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

B) Calculate the energy absorbed from a climber's body if he melts 0.45 kg of -15?C snow using a stove and drink the resulting 0.45 kg of water at 2?C, which his body has to warm to 37?C. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

?V.I. Arnold Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics Second Edition Page 50?

Determine the major semi-axis of the ellipse which the center of the earth describes around the common center of mass of the earth and the moon. Where is this center of mass, inside the earth or outside? (The mass of the moon is 1/81 times the mass of the earth.)

NOT JUST 'INSIDE' OR 'OUTSIDE', with specific solution.

A box of physics books slides down a ramp inclined at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal. The total length of the ramp is 10m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is .2 for the top 8m and zero for the bottom 2m. Upon reaching the bottom of the ramp, a spring bounces the box back upward.

(a) Find the distance that the box travels back up the ramp on the return bounce.

(b) Your answer shouldnt depend on the spring constant of the spring at the bottom. Why not?

In a nuclear fusion reactor two nuclei of deuterium merge, forming a nucleus of helium. The mass of the deuterium nucleus, expressed in units of atomic mass (u), is 2.0136u and of the helium nucleus is equal to 4.0015u (1u = 1.6605 × 10-27 kg). Determine the amount of energy released when 1.0 kg of deuterium is merged. Answer: 5,74 × 1014 J.
