A metal block is placed in a room which is at 10^(@)C for long time. Now it is heated by an electric heater of power 500 W till its temperature becomes 50^(@)C . Its initial rate of rise of temperature is 2.5^(@)C//sec . The heater is switched off and now a heater of 100W is required to maintain the temperature of the block at 50^(@)C . (Assume Newtons Law of cooling to be valid) What is the heat capacity of the block?

Assertion : When a bullet is fired from a gun the bullet pierces a wooden block and stops. The temperature of the bullet and the surrounding layers of wood changes. Reason : Temperature is related to the energy of motion of the bullet as a whole.

Statement I: Block A is moving on the horizontal surface towards right under action of force F. All surfaces are smooth. At the instant shown the force exerted by block A on block B is equal to net force on block B. Statement II: From Newton's third law, the force exerted by block A on B is equal in magnitude to force exerted by block B on A.

In the figure a truck is moving on a horizontal surface with acceleration a . Two blocks of equal masses m are supported on the truck as shown in figure. Given that when the block at the top surface is just about to slide, other block remains hanging at 30^(@) from the vertical. In this system.
