Compared to a burn due to water at $100\,^oC,$ a burn due to steam at $100\,^oC$ is

$200\, g$ of a solid ball at $20\,^oC$ is dropped in an equal amount of water at $80\,^oC$ . The resulting temperature is $60\,^oC$ . This means that specific heat of solid is

A bullet moving with a uniform velocity v, stops suddenly after hitting the target and the whole mass melts be $m$, specific heat $S,$ initial temperature $25°C$ melting point $ 475°C$ and the latent heat $L.$ Then $v$ is given by

The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid when determined using two different vessels $A$ and $B$ are $\gamma_1$ and $\gamma_2$ respectively. If the coefficient of linear expansion of the vessel $A$ is $\alpha $, then coefficient of linear expansion of $B$

Mercury is of ten used in clinical thermometers. Which one of the following properties of mercury is not a reason for this?

Solids expand on heating because ................
