A lead ball at 25^@ C is dropped from a height of 2 km. It is heated due to air resistance and it is assumed that all of its kinetic energy is used in increasing the temperature of ball. Find the final temperature of the ball.

Show that heat develped inn wires each of resistance r joined in paralledl between two ponts at a contant potential difference is n^(2) times the heat developed in the same wieres when they are joined in series beetween the same two points.

Statement I: The thermal resistance of a multiple later is equal to the sum of the thermal resistance of the individual laminas. Statement II: Heat transferred is directly proportional to the temperature gradient in each layer.

Assertion : Work and heat are two equivalent form of energy. Reason : Work is the transfer of mechanical energy irrespective of temperature difference, whereas heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of temperature difference only.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions. If heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy. The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the objects attain the same value. In this process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object loses heat energy. If the system of both the objects is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistant box (meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two objects only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. i. Heat is transferred from where to where?
