Question 52 :

• WAEC 2005

A stone thrown horizontally from the top of a vertical ice is completely melted. Determine the total mass of wall with a velocity of 15ms\(^{-1}\), hits the horizontal ground water in the container at a point 45m from the base of the wall. Calculate the specific latent heat of steam = 2.3 x 10\(^3\) Jg\(^{-1}\) height of the wall. [g = 10ms\(^{-2}\)]

Question 53 :

• WAEC 2005

A ball is projected specific latent heat of ice = 3.4 x 10\(^{2}\) Jg\(^{-1}\) horizontally from a height of 20m above the ground specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg\(^{-1}\) K\(^{-1}\) with an initial velocity of 0.4ms\(^{-1}\). Calculate the horizontal distance moved by the ball before hitting the ground. [g = 10ms\(^{-1}\)]
