JEE Main & Advanced Physics Thermometry, Calorimetry & Thermal Expansion Question Bank Topic Test - Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry (3-5-21)

  • question_answer
    A lead bullet of 10 g travelling at 300 m/s strikes against a block of wood and comes to rest. Assuming 50% of heat is absorbed by the bullet, the increase in its temperature is             (Specific heat of lead = 150J/kg, K)

    A) \[100{}^\circ C\]

    B) \[125{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[150{}^\circ C\]

    D) \[200{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                   Since specific heat of lead is given in Joules, hence use \[W=Q\] instead of \[W=JQ\]. \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{2}\times \left( \frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}} \right)=m.c.\Delta \theta \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\Delta \theta =\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{4c}=\frac{{{(300)}^{2}}}{4\times 150}=150{}^\circ C\].
