- An ice bullet of temperature – 10°C is fired upon an object. The bullet spends 20% of its kinetic energy in penetrating into the object and remaining kinetic energy is spent into melting the bullet at 0°C. The latent heat of fusion of ice is 3·4 × 10⁵ J kg⁻¹ and its specific heat capacity is 2000 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹. Which one among the following is the correct initial speed of the bullet ?
- 100 grams of ice at 0°C is put in 240 grams of water at 5°C. The mixture finally comes to equilibrium at 0°C with m grams of ice melted in the process. Value of m is close to : (latent heat of ice = 3.33 × 105 J/kg and specific heat of water = 4.2 J g-1°C)
