Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 53

Question: Hailstone at 0°C falls from a height of 1 km on an insulating surface converting whole of its kinetic energy into heat. What part of it will melt (g=10m/s2) [MP PMT 1994]

Options:

A) 133

B) 18

C) 133×104

D) All of it will melt

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Suppose m¢ kg ice melts out of m kg then by using W=JQ

therefore mgh=J(mL) . Hence fraction of ice melts

=mm=ghJL=9.8×10004.18×80=133
