$200\, g$ of a solid ball at $20\,^oC$ is dropped in an equal amount of water at $80\,^oC$. The resulting temperature is $60\,^oC$. This means that specific heat of solid is
One fourth of water
One half of water
Twice of wate
Four times of water
The coefficient of apparent expansion of mercury in a glass vessel is $153\times 10^{-6}/\,^oC$ and in a steel vessel is $144\times 10^{-6}/\,^oC.$ If $\alpha $ for steel is $12 \times 10^{-6}/\,^oC,$ then $\alpha $ that of glass is
A lead bullet at $27\,^oC$ just melts when stopped by an obstacle. Assuming that $25\%$ of heat is absorbed by the obstacle, then the velocity of the bullet at the time of striking is ........ $m/s$ ( $M.P.$ of lead = $327\,^oC$, specific heat of lead $= 0.03\,cal/g\,^oC$, latent heat of fusion of lead $= 6\,cal/g$ and $J = 4.2\,joule/cal$ )
Water is used to cool radiators of engines in car because
Two identical bodies are made of a material for which the heat capacity increases with temperature. One of these is held at a temperature of $100^{\circ} C$, while the other one is kept at $0^{\circ} C$. If the two are brought into contact, then assuming no heat loss to the environment, the final temperature that they will reach is
A centigrade and a Fahrenheit thermometer are dipped in boiling water. The water temp is lowered until the Fahrenheit temp. register $140^o$. What is the fall in the temperature as registered by centigrade thermometer ....... $^oC$
