Calculate the quantity of heat needed to melt a 180-g block of ice at 0∘C. The heat of fusion L^f for water is 80 cal/g. Heat of fusion : Q=mL^f

14,400 cal (180 g x 80 cal/g)

A block of ice at 0∘C is dropped from a height that causes it to completely melt upon impact. Assume that there is no air resistance and that all the energy goes into melting the ice. What is the height necessary for this to occur? (Hint: Equate the joules of gravitational potential energy to the product of the mass of ice and its heat of fusion (Lf = 335,000 J/kg)
