  • question_answer
    A hammer of mass 1 kg having speed of 50 m/s, hit a iron nail of mass 200 gm. If specific heat of iron is \[0.105 cal/gm\,{}^\circ C\]and half the energy is converted into heat. the raise in temperature of nail is

    A) \[7.1{}^\circ C\]

    B) \[9.2{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[10.5{}^\circ C\]

    D) \[12.1{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\operatorname{W}=JQ\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}} \right)=J\left( m.c.\Delta \theta  \right)\] \[\frac{1}{4}\times 1\times {{\left( 50 \right)}^{2}}= 4.2\left[ 200\times 0.105\times \Delta \theta  \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \Delta \theta =7.1{}^\circ C\]
