$A$ mass $m$ of material exists in its solid state at its melting temperature $0^\circ C$. The following processes occur to the material:
Process-$1$: An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.
Process-$2$: An identical additional amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and the material is now a liquid at $40^\circ C$.
What is the ratio of the latent heat of fusion $(L)$ to the specific heat of the liquid $(s)$ for this material?

  • A
    $120$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $20$

How many $J$ of heat energy is required to convert $1\,g$ of ice at $-10^{\circ}C$ into steam at $100^{\circ}C$?

$A$ bullet of mass $5\, g$,travelling with a speed of $210\, m/s$,strikes a fixed wooden target. One half of its kinetic energy is converted into heat in the bullet while the other half is converted into heat in the wood. The rise of temperature of the bullet if the specific heat of its material is $0.030\, cal/(g \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ $(1\, cal = 4.2 \times 10^{7}\, ergs)$ is close to $.......^{\circ}C$.

$A$ block of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ falls from a height of $1 \ km$ onto an insulating surface. If all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,what fraction of the ice will melt? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^{2}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $L = 3.36 \times 10^{5} \ J/kg$)
