JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat JEE PYQ-Transmission Of Heat

  • question_answer
    A metal ball of mass 0.1 kg is heated upto \[500{}^\circ C\] and dropped into a vessel of heat capacity\[800\,\,J{{K}^{-1}}\] and containing 0.5 kg water. The initial temperature of water and vessel is \[30{}^\circ C\]. What is the approximate percentage increment in the temperature of the water?                      [JEE Main 11-Jan-2019 Evening]
    [Specific heat capacities of water and metal are, respectively,
    4200 \[Jk{{g}^{-1}}\,{{K}^{-1}}\]and 400    \[J\,k{{g}^{-1}}\,{{K}^{-1}}\]]

    A)  15%    

    B)       30%  

    C)  25%    

    D)       20%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Heat lost by metal ball = Heat gained by container and water
    \[{{m}_{b}}{{s}_{b}}(500-\theta )={{m}_{c}}{{s}_{c}}(\theta -30)+{{m}_{w}}{{s}_{w}}(\theta -30)\]
    \[0.1\times 400(500-\theta )=800(\theta -30)+0.5\times 4200(\theta -30)\]\[40(500-\theta )=2900(\theta -30)\]
    \[20000-40\theta =2900\theta -87000\]
    \[\theta =\frac{107000}{2940}={{36.4}^{o}}C\]
    % increase in the temperature of water
    \[=\frac{\Delta \theta}{\theta }\times 100=\frac{36.4-30}{30}\times 100=21.33%\]
