BackYou are boiling pasta and absentmindedly grab a copper stirring spoon rather than your wooden spoon. The copper spoon has a 20 mm ×1.5 mm rectangular cross section, and the distance from the boiling water to your 35°C hand is 18 cm. How long does it take the spoon to transfer 25 J of energy to your hand?
Approximately how long should it take 8.2 kg of ice at 0°C to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam ice chest of dimensions 25cm x 35cm x 55cm whose walls are 1.5 cm thick? Assume that the conductivity of Styrofoam is double that of air and that the outside temperature is 34°C.
(II) A small immersion heater is rated at 375 W. Estimate how long it will take to heat a cup of soup (assume this is 250 mL of water) from 15°C to 75°C.

How long does it take the Sun to melt a block of ice at 0°C with a flat horizontal area 1.0 m² and thickness 1.0 cm? Assume that the Sun’s rays make an angle of 35° with the vertical and that the emissivity of ice is 0.050.
Metabolizing 1.0 kg of fat results in about 3.7 x 10⁷ J of internal energy in the body. How long would it take to burn 1.0 kg of fat this way assuming there is no food intake?
