What is heat energy, and what are its effects?

Important Questions on Heat and Temperature

MEDIUM

A horizontal fire hose with a nozzle of cross-sectional area 521×10-3 m2 delivers a cubic metre of water in 10 s. What will be the maximum possible increase in the temperature of water while it hits a rigid wall (neglecting the effect of gravity)?

MEDIUM
If 104 g of water at 30°C is taken in a calorimeter made of copper of mass 42 g. When a certain mass of ice at 0°C is added to it, the final steady temperature of the mixture after the ice has melted, was found to be 10°C. Find the mass of ice added.  (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1 °C-1, Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 336 J g-1, Specific heat capacity of copper = 0.4 J g-1°C-1)

A current carrying wire heats a metal rod. The wire provides a constant power P to the rod. The metal rod is enclosed in an insulated container. It is observed that the temperature T in the metal rod changes with time t as: Tt=T01+βt14
, where β is a constant with appropriate dimension while T0 is a constant with dimension of temperature. The heat capacity of the metal is:
