What happens to the heat when water solidifies into ice it absorbed or evolved?
I think it is evolved because if the heat is absorbed then the latent heat will be given to the matter( ice) then the ice will start melting
How does heat flow when you place an ice cube in your hand?
ur momWhen an ice cube is placed in your hand, the heat flows from your hand to the ice. This raises the temperature of the ice, causing it to melt.
A sentence for heat of fusion?
Because of the heat of fusion the ice is now water
Are ice baths good for heat?
yes
Do you ice or out a heating pad on a sore shoulder?
Usually you should apply ice for the first day or two after an acute injury and after that heat. If it is a chronic irritation apply ice after use and heat when trying to warm up and loosen up.
Do you apply heat or ice on something swollen?

Where can I get more information on IT band injuries?
IT is Iliotibial Band syndrome. It is an athletic hip injury. Treatment can be simple rest, ice packs or anti-inflammatory medications. If the pain is severe a cortisone injection into the area of inflammation may be necessary.
Why are evaporation and melting both considered to be cooling processes?
Water will evaporate faster if you apply heat to it. Ice will melt faster if you apply heat to it. Both processes absorb heat, and use it to undergo a phase change. Even if you don't apply heat to water, it absorbs heat, or cools, as it evaporates, which you can know by putting room temperature water on your skin and feel the cooling effect as it evaporates. The same is true with ice.
What would you use to melt ice in Antarctica?

Which statements are true about a block of ice at -10 C as you continue to apply heat?
The ice is melted after 0C.
Do ice cubes radiate heat?
Yes, Ice Cubes radiate heat. Consider that an ice cube can be modeled as a grey body (similar to a blackbody, but with a different emissivity) with a temperature = 0 °C. The apply Planck's equation to calculation the radiant exitance of the ice cube. This will give you a measure of the amount of heat given off by an ice cube.
How do you get rid of soreness overnight?

Why you need to apply heat or ice to the patient with low back pain?
Use ice for injuries to calm down any damaged tissues that are inflamed or swollen. Use heat for sore muscles, chronic pain and stress.
What will happen if you apply pressure on ice?
as ice will come in contact with the substance, it will come in direct contact with its heat thus increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules . this results in melting of ice.

Do you apply heat or ice to a pulled muscle?
You always ice muscle, tendon, and ligament damage to prevent swelling and further potential damage. It used to be that after the first day or two after an injury, you would apply heat to bring healing blood circulation to the area. It has been found in the past couple of years that ice is somewhat better at bringing healing blood to the damaged area. Either heat or cold will be OK to apply after the first day or two after the injury.
