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 is4186 j/kg? c? .
a) calculate the energy absorbed from a climber's body if he eats 0.90
kg of -15? c snow which his body warms to body temperature of 37? c.
b) calculate the energy absorbed from a climber's body if he melts 0.90
kg of -15? c snow using a stove and drink the resulting 0.90kg of water at 2? c, which his body has to warm to 37? c.

Electromagnetic induction. a coil of wire contains n turns and has an electrical resistance r. the radius of each turn is a. initially, inside the coil there exists a uniform magnetic field of magnitude b0 parallel to the axis of the coil. the magnetic field is then reduced slowly. the current induced in the coil is i. how long does it take for the magnitude of the uniform field to drop to zero?
