    A 42 kg block of ice moving on rough horizontal surface stops due to friction, after sometime. If the initial velocity of the decelerating block is \[4\text{ }m{{s}^{-1}},\] the mass of ice (in kg ) that has melted due to the heat generated by the friction is: (Latent heat of ice is\[3.36\times {{10}^{5}}Jk{{g}^{-1}}\])

    A) \[{{10}^{-3}}\]                                  

    B)  \[1.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\]

    C) \[2\times {{10}^{-3}}\]                                  

    D)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Initial mass of ice block m = 42kg Initial velocity of ice block \[u=4\,m{{s}^{-1}}\] Final velocity of ice block v =0 Let retardation = a Using IIIrd equation of motion, we get \[{{v}^{2}}-{{u}^{2}}-2as\] (\[-ve\]sign is taken for retardation) \[2as={{u}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}\] \[as=\frac{{{u}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}}{2}=\frac{{{(4)}^{2}}-{{(0)}^{2}}}{2}\] \[as=8{{m}^{2}}/{{s}^{2}}\] Heat generated = work done against friction \[Q=F\times s\] \[Q=m\times a\times s\] \[Q=42\times 8\] \[Q=336\,J\] Due to this heat, let M kg of ice melts. So,         Q = ML \[\Rightarrow \]               \[M=\frac{Q}{L}=\frac{336}{3.36\times {{10}^{5}}}kg\] \[M=1\times {{10}^{-3}}\,kg\]
