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 ( \(\mathrm{s}=\) specific heat of lead)

  1. A \(\frac{v^2 s}{2 J}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{4 \mathrm{~sJ}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{v}^2 \mathrm{~s}}{\mathrm{~J}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 \mathrm{v}^2}{\mathrm{~Js}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{4 \mathrm{~sJ}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy converted to heat \(=50 \%\) of K.E.
\(\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore \quad & E=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2 \times\left(\frac{50}{100}\right)=\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{mv}^2 \\
& \text { Heat, } \mathrm{Q}=\mathrm{ms} \Delta \mathrm{~T} \\
& \mathrm{~J}=\text { Mechanical equivalent of heat }=\frac{W}{\mathrm{Q}} \\
\therefore \quad & \mathrm{~J}=\frac{\frac{1}{4} \mathrm{mv}^2}{\mathrm{~ms} \Delta \mathrm{~T}} \\
& \Delta \mathrm{~T}=\frac{\mathrm{v}^2}{4 \mathrm{Js}}
\end{array}\)
