10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
medium
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
$600$
(JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution
$m \times 125 \times 200+ m \times 2.5 \times 10^{4}=\frac{1}{2} mv ^{2} \times \frac{40}{100}$
$V =500 \,m / s$
