To solve the problem, we need to calculate the initial speed of the lead bullet that penetrates a solid object and melts. We will use the given data and apply the principles of energy conservation. ### Given Data: - Initial temperature of the bullet, \( T_i = 27^\circ C \) - Melting point of lead, \( T_m = 327^\circ C \) - Latent heat of fusion of lead, \( L = 2.5 \times 10^4 \, \text{J/kg} \) - Specific heat capacity of lead, \( c = 1.25 \, \text{J/(kg K)} \) ...
