Water is used to cool radiators of engines in car because
of its lower density
it is easily available
it is cheap
it has high specific heat
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 $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )
A bimetallic strip consists of metals $A$ and $B$ . It is mounted rigidly at the base as shown. The metal $A$ has a higher coefficient of expansion to that for metal $B$ . When bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath it will
The portion $AB$ of the indicator diagram representing the state of matter denotes
Three rods of equal length $l$ are joined to form an equilateral triangle $PQR.$ $O$ is the mid point of $PQ.$ Distance $OR$ remains same for small change in temperature. Coefficient of linear expansion for $PR$ and $RQ$ is same, $i.e., \alpha _2$ but that for $PQ$ is $\alpha _1.$ Then
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
