Question Number 23361 by Tinkutara last updated on 29/Oct/17
A 50 g lead bullet, sp. heat 0.02 is  initially at 30°C. It is fired vertically  upwards with a speed of 840 m/s and  on returning to the starting level strikes  a cake of ice at 0°C. How much ice is  melted? Assume that all energy is  spent in melting only (L = 80 cal/g).

(I assume specific heat=((0.02cal)/(gC °)))  mL+Mc△T+△K=0  m(80×4.182)+50×0.02×4.2×30               −(1/2)×((50)/(1000))×(840)^2  =0  ≈ ⇒  m(42×8)=3×42+42×420  or   m=((423)/8)g  ≈ 53g .
(Iassumespecificheat=0.02calgC°)mL+McT+K=0m(80×4.182)+50×0.02×4.2×3012×501000×(840)2=0m(42×8)=3×42+42×420orm=4238g53g.
