You've packed a cube shaped cooler for the beach. Its 6 walls are made of 2 centimeter thick styrofoam and have lengths and heights of 40 centimeters each. If you were to fill it with 0 degree ice, how much ice would melt in 2.6 hours if the cooler was sitting in +35 C warm air. (use 0.035 for the k value of styrofoam and 334000 J/kg for the latent heat of fusion for ice.)

The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a
1.2-m-diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator's motor. The elevator is moving upward at a speed of 2.6 m/s . It then slows to a stop, while the cylinder turns one complete revolution.
How long does it take for the elevator to stop?

I am a physics undergrad and thinking of exploring quantum information theory. I had a look at some books in my college library. What area in QIT, is the most mathematically challenging and rigorous? From what I saw in the books, most topics was just simple linear algebra. I am looking for an area which is mathematically more rich, and uses maybe more concepts from theoretical computer science, number theory, discrete maths, algebra etc. Classical cryptography is an area on the interface of maths and TCS which uses many areas of maths such as number theory, algebra, ellptical curves. Is the quantum cryptography also rich in mathematics? What are the prerequisites? If not, please could you suggest some areas that I are mathematically rich in QIT?

block 1 of mass m1 slides from rest along a frictionless ramp from height h = 3 m and then collides with stationary block 2, which has mass m2 = 5m1. After the collision, block 2 slides into a region where the coefficient of kinetic friction μk is 0.1 and comes to a stop in distance d within that region. What is the value of distance d if the collision is (a) elastic and (b) completely inelastic?

A bullet with mass m = 0.1 kg grams hits a ballistic pendulum with length L = 3 meters and mass M = 2 kg and lodges in it. When the bullet hits the pendulum it swings up from the equilibrium position and reaches an angle 15 degrees at its maximum. In this problem, you will determine the bullet’s velocity. First, I want to ask you a couple of questions:
B.While the bullet is embedding into the block, is momentum conserved? Why or why not?
C. When the pendulum swings up to its maximum angle, is energy conserved? Why or why not?
D.When the pendulum swings up to its maximum angle, is momentum conserved? Why or why not?
E. Find the velocity of the bullet.
