A bullet of mass 10 g moving with a speed of `20 m//s` hits an ice block of mass 990 g kept on a frictionless floor and gets stuck in it. How much ice will melt if `50%` of the lost kinetic energy goes to ice?
(Temperature of ice block `= 0^@C`.)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Velocity of bullet + ice blocmk `V=((10gm)xx(20m//s))/(1000gm)=0.2m//s`
Loss of K.E. `=1/2 mv^(2) - 1/2 (m+M)V^(2)`
`=1/2[0.01xx(20)^(2)-1xx(0.2)^(2)]=1.98J`
`:.` Heat generated `=1.98/4.2` cal
`:.` Heat received by ice block `=1.98/(4.2xx2)` cal `=0.24` cal
`:.` Mass is ice melted `=((0.24"cal"))/((80"cal"//gm))=0.003 gm`
