7. Starting at O, an insect of mass 0.01 kg crawls along the base and then up a tiled wall as shown
in the diagram at a constant speed of 0.02ms-1

I.

What is the total distance travelled by the insect?

II. How long does the insect take to crawl from O to C?

III. Calculate the magnitude of the displacement of the insect
IV. Calculate the change in potential energy between O and C (E=mgh)
8. Consider 0.30kg of ice at 0 is placed in a container
I.

III. Some water at 30 is added to .30 kg of ice at 0. The ice melts and the final temperature of
all the water is 15.
Use your answers to (i) and (ii) above to determine the mass of water added.

[Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2103Jkg-1K-1]

[Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.3105Jkg-1]
