10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium
A bullet of mass $10 \,g$ moving with a speed of $20 \,m / s$ hits an ice block of mass $990 \,g$ kept on a frictionless floor and gets stuck in it. How much ice will melt if $50 \%$ of the lost KE goes to ice is .......... $g$ (initial temperature of the ice block and bullet $=0^{\circ} C$ )
A
$0.001$
B
$0.002$
C
$0.003$
D
$0.004$
Solution
(c)
$50 \%$ of lost KE goes to melt ice
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{10 \times 20 \times 20}{1000}=1\, J$
Amount of ice that melts $=\frac{1}{80 \times 4.2}=0.003 \,g$
