A lead bullet penetrates into a solid object and melts. Assuming that $40 \%$ of its kinetic energy is used to heat it, the initial speed of bullet is ............ $ms ^{-1}$

(Given, initial temperature of the bullet $=127^{\circ} C$,

Melting point of the bullet $=327^{\circ} C$,

Latent heat of fusion of lead $=2.5 \times 10^{4} \,J Kg ^{-1}$,

Specific heat capacity of lead $=125 \,J / kg K$ )

A

$125$

B

$500$

C

$250$

D

$600$

Solution

$m \times 125 \times 200+ m \times 2.5 \times 10^{4}=\frac{1}{2} mv ^{2} \times \frac{40}{100}$

$V =500 \,m / s$
