Solids expand on heating because ................
Kinetic energy of atom increases
Potential energy of atom increases
Total energy of atom increases
The potential energy curve is asymmetric about the equilibrium distance between neighbouring atoms
Heat required to melt $1\, gm$ of ice is $80\, cal$. A man melts $60\, gm$ of ice by chewing in one minute. His power is ........ $W$
A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking is ........ $m/s$ ( $M.P.$ of lead = $327\,^oC$, specific heat of lead $= 0.03\,cal/g\,^oC$, latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\,cal/g$ and $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )
If mass-energy equivalence is taken into account, when water is cooled to from ice. The mass of water should
A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle.

Steam at $100\,^oC$ is more dangerous than the same mass of water at $100\,^oC$ because the steam
