$A$ student takes $50 \, g$ of wax (specific heat $= 0.6 \, cal/g \cdot ^\circ C$) and heats it until it boils. The graph between temperature and time is shown below. The heat supplied to the wax per minute and the boiling point are respectively:

  • A
    $500 \, cal, 50^\circ C$
  • B
    $1000 \, cal, 100^\circ C$
  • C
    $1500 \, cal, 200^\circ C$
  • D
    $2000 \, cal, 250^\circ C$

$A$ beaker of height $H$ is made up of a material whose coefficient of linear thermal expansion is $3\alpha$. It is filled up to the brim by a liquid whose coefficient of thermal expansion is $\alpha$. If now the beaker along with its contents is uniformly heated through a small temperature $T$,the level of liquid will reduce by (given $\alpha T << 1$):

$A$ lead bullet of mass $50 \ g$ at a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ is fired vertically upwards with a speed of $840 \ m/s$. When the bullet returns to the point of departure,it strikes a large block of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. How much ice (in $g$) will melt? (Specific heat of lead is $0.02 \ cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal/g$,and assume all energy is used to melt the ice.)

$A$ lead bullet moving with velocity '$v$' strikes a wall and stops. If $50\%$ of its energy is converted into heat,then the increase in temperature is ($s =$ specific heat of lead,$J =$ mechanical equivalent of heat).

$A$ closed bottle containing water at $30^{\circ} C$ is opened on the surface of the moon. Then,

An earthen pitcher used in summer cools water in it essentially by evaporation of water from its porous surface. If a pitcher carries $4 \,kg$ of water and the rate of evaporation is $20 \,g$ per hour,the temperature of water in it decreases by $\Delta T$ in two hours. The value of $\Delta T$ is close to ........... $^{\circ} C$ (ratio of latent heat of evaporation to specific heat of water is $540^{\circ} C$).
