When a scenario has tension force present, does that tension force also count as applied force? (also I assume tension force is "towing force" is that correct?) (asking this again because I was trolled.)

50 g of ice at 0°c is dropped in a beaker containing 100 g of water at 0°c. what will be the contents of the beaker after 5 hours? assume that the room temperature is 0°c.

Asmall grinding wheel has a moment of inertia of 4.0×10−5 kg⋅m2 . what net torque must be applied to the wheel for its angular acceleration to be 150 rad/s2 ?

What belongs in the areas marked x and y? x: the internal energy of a piston system increases as heat is added and rises to a cool area y: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the energy is lost to the environment x: as thermal energy is added to a container, some of the energy is lost to the environment y: the internal energy of a piston system increases as heat is added and rises to a cool area x: a cold spoon placed in hot liquid gets warmer y: thermal energy is converted to light energy x: thermal energy is converted to light energy y: a cold spoon placed in hot liquid gets warmer
