Further Study

Use "cold" ice directly out of the freezer. Assume conservation of energy, and work the equations
backwards to find the initial temperature of the ice. Hint: The specific heat of ice is not the same
as that of water. If you have a non-glass thermometer, you can freeze the temperature probe in the
ice, and watch it warm up when it is added to the cup.
