Explain, why no tracks are left on the ice during ice skating?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

The weight of the body acts on a very small area of skate, in comparison to that of ice. Under this high pressure, ice melts to form water below 0°C. The water so formed makes the surface water skating more slippery. But as soon as the skater moves further, the water does not experience any pressure and re-freezes into ice leaving no track on ice surface.

Define specific latent heat capacity


Calculate the total amount of heat energy required to melt 200 g of ice at 0°C to water at 100°C. (Specific latent heat of ice = 336 Jg-1, specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 Jg-1 °C-1)
