Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{3 \mathrm{~V}^2}{8 \mathrm{Js}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text {K.E. }=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MV}^2\)
As \(75 \%\) of the kinetic energy is converted to heat,
Heat energy, \(W=\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{MV}^2=\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{MV}^2\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{J}=\frac{\mathrm{W}}{\mathrm{Q}}=\frac{\text { change in } \mathrm{KE}}{\text { Heat energy }} \\
\therefore \quad & \mathrm{J}=\frac{\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{MV}^2}{\Delta \mathrm{~T} \times \mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{s}} \\
\therefore \quad & \Delta \mathrm{~T}=\frac{3 \mathrm{~V}^2}{8 \mathrm{Js}}
\end{aligned}\)
