MCQ
A bullet of mass $5\, g$, travelling with a speed of $210$ $m / s ,$ strikes a fixed wooden target. One half of its kinetic energy is converted into heat in the bullet while the other half is converted into heat in the wood. The rise of temperature of the bullet if the specific heat of its material is $0.030\, cal /\left( g -{ }^{\circ} C \right)$ $\left(1\, cal =4.2 \times 10^{7}\, ergs \right)$ close to$.......^oC$
  • A
    $83.3$
  • $87.5$
  • C
    $119.2$
  • D
    $38.4$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$87.5$
b
$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=m s \Delta T$

$\Delta T=\frac{v^{2}}{4 \times 5}=\frac{210^{2}}{4 \times 30 \times 4.200}$

$=87.5^{\circ} C$

One end of a light spring of spring constant $k$ is fixed to a wall and the other end is tied to a block placed on a smooth horizontal surface. In a displacement, the work done by the spring is $\frac{1}{2}\text{kx}^2.$ The possible cases are:
  1. At spring was initially compressed by a distance $x$ and was finally in its natural length.
  2. It was initially stretched by a distance $x$ and and finally was in its natural length.
  3. It was initially in its natural length and finally in a compressed position.
  4. It was initially in its natural length and finally in a stretched position.
