$A$ block of ice at $0^{\circ}C$ falls from a height of $1 \ km$ onto an insulating surface. If all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,what fraction of the ice will melt? (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^{2}$ and latent heat of fusion of ice $L = 3.36 \times 10^{5} \ J/kg$)

  • A
    $\frac{1}{33}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{8}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{33} \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    All of it will melt
