$A$ $20 \,g$ bullet whose specific heat is $5000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ and moving at $2000 \,m/s$ plunges into a $1.0 \,kg$ block of wax whose specific heat is $3000 \,J/(kg \cdot ^{\circ}C)$. Both the bullet and the wax are at $25^{\circ}C$. Assuming that $(i)$ the bullet comes to rest in the wax and $(ii)$ all its kinetic energy is converted into heat,the final temperature of the wax (in $^{\circ}C$) is close to:

  • A
    $28.1$
  • B
    $31.5$
  • C
    $37.9$
  • D
    $42.1$

$A$ thermally insulated vessel contains some water at $0^{\circ}C$. The vessel is connected to a vacuum pump to pump out water vapour. This results in some water getting frozen. It is given that the latent heat of vaporization of water at $0^{\circ}C = 21 \times 10^5 \text{ J/kg}$ and the latent heat of fusion of water $= 3.36 \times 10^5 \text{ J/kg}$. The maximum percentage amount of water that will be solidified in this manner will be ...... $\%$
