$A$ steel ball of mass $0.1 \, kg$ falls freely from a height of $10 \, m$ and bounces to a height of $5.4 \, m$ from the ground. If the dissipated energy in this process is absorbed by the ball,the rise in its temperature is ........... $^\circ C$ (Specific heat of steel $= 460 \, J \, kg^{-1} \, ^\circ C^{-1}, \; g = 10 \, m \, s^{-2}$)

The heat extracted out of $x \ \text{g}$ of water initially at $50^\circ \text{C}$ to cool it down to $0^\circ \text{C}$ is sufficient to evaporate $(1000 - x) \ \text{g}$ of water also initially at $50^\circ \text{C}$. The value of $x$ (closest integer) is . . . . . . . (Take latent heat of water $L = 2256 \ \text{kJ/kg}$, specific heat capacity of water $c = 4200 \ \text{J/kg}\cdot \text{K}$)

On which of the following four processes does the functioning of a bimetallic strip depend?
$(i)$ Radiation
$(ii)$ Energy conversion
$(iii)$ Melting
$(iv)$ Thermal expansion

$A$ beaker is filled with water at $4\,^{\circ}C$. At one time the temperature is increased by a few degrees above $4\,^{\circ}C$ and at another time it is decreased by a few degrees below $4\,^{\circ}C$. One shall observe that:

$A$ metal rod is used as a pendulum. If the room temperature increases by $10^{\circ}C$ and the linear expansion coefficient of the metal is $2 \times 10^{-6} {\circ}C^{-1}$,then the percentage change in the time period of the pendulum is ...... $\%$

If two balls of the same metal weighing $5\, g$ and $10\, g$ strike a target with the same velocity,and the heat energy developed is used solely for raising their temperature,then the temperature rise will be higher:
