Heat is being supplied at a constant rate to a sphere of ice which is melting at the rate of $0.1 \,g/s$. It melts completely in $100 \,s$. The rate of rise of temperature of the resulting water thereafter will be ............ $^{\circ}C/s$.

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

The freezing point of a liquid decreases when pressure is increased,if the liquid:

$A$ steam engine intakes $50 \, g$ of steam at $100^{\circ} C$ per minute and cools it down to $20^{\circ} C$. If the latent heat of vaporization of steam is $540 \, cal \, g^{-1}$,then the heat rejected by the steam engine per minute is .........$\times 10^{3} \, cal$.

On which of the following four processes does the functioning of a bimetallic strip depend?
$(i)$ Radiation
$(ii)$ Energy conversion
$(iii)$ Melting
$(iv)$ Thermal expansion

$A$ block of ice at temperature $-20^{\circ} C$ is slowly heated and converted to steam at $100^{\circ} C$. Which of the following diagrams is most appropriate?
