$A$ stationary object at $4^{\circ}C$ and weighing $3.5\, kg$ falls from a height of $2000\, m$ on a snow mountain at $0^{\circ}C$. If the temperature of the object just before hitting the snow is $0^{\circ}C$ and the object comes to rest immediately $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$ and (latent heat of ice $= 3.5 \times 10^5\, J/kg$),then the amount of ice that will melt is:

  • A
    $2\, kg$ of ice
  • B
    $200\, g$ of ice
  • C
    $20\, g$ of ice
  • D
    $2\, g$ of ice

Consider a rectangular sheet of solid material of length $l=9 \ cm$ and width $d=4 \ cm$. The coefficient of linear expansion is $\alpha=3.1 \times 10^{-5} \ K^{-1}$ at room temperature and one atmospheric pressure. The mass of the sheet is $m=0.1 \ kg$ and the specific heat capacity is $C_v=900 \ J \ kg^{-1} K^{-1}$. If the amount of heat supplied to the material is $8.1 \times 10^2 \ J$,then the change in area of the rectangular sheet is:

The heat required to convert $8 \ g$ of ice at a temperature of $-20^{\circ}C$ to steam at $100^{\circ}C$ is (Specific heat capacity of ice $= 2100 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$, specific heat capacity of water $= 4200 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$, latent heat of fusion of ice $= 336 \times 10^3 \ J \ kg^{-1}$ and latent heat of steam $= 2.268 \times 10^6 \ J \ kg^{-1}$) (in $kJ$)
