50 g of copper is heated to increase its temperature by 10^(@) C. If the same quantity of heat is given to 10 gm of water, the rise in temperdture is (specific heat of copper= 420 JKg^(-1) K^(-1) , specific heat of water = 4200 jkg^(-1) k^(-1))

A hammer of mass 200 kg strikes a steel block of mass 200 g with a velocity 8 ms^(-1) . If 23% of the energy is utilized to heat the steel block, the rise in temperature of the block is (Specific heat capacity of steel, = 460 J kg ^(-1) K^(-2) )

A lead bullet of mass 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 = 150 J//kg^(@)C )
