$A$ bullet of mass $5\, g$,travelling with a speed of $210\, m/s$,strikes a fixed wooden target. One half of its kinetic energy is converted into heat in the bullet while the other half is converted into heat in the wood. The rise of temperature of the bullet if the specific heat of its material is $0.030\, cal/(g \cdot ^{\circ}C)$ $(1\, cal = 4.2 \times 10^{7}\, ergs)$ is close to $.......^{\circ}C$.

Heat is being supplied at a constant rate to a sphere of ice which is melting at the rate of $0.1 \,g/s$. It melts completely in $100 \,s$. The rate of rise of temperature of the resulting water thereafter will be ............ $^{\circ}C/s$.

One quality of a thermometer is that its heat capacity should be small. If $P$ is a mercury thermometer,$Q$ is a resistance thermometer,and $R$ is a thermocouple type,then:

$A$ $10.0 \,W$ electrical heater is used to heat a container filled with $0.5 \,kg$ of water. It is found that the temperature of the water and the container rose by $3 \,K$ in $15 \,min$. The container is then emptied,dried,and filled with $2 \,kg$ of an oil. It is now observed that the same heater raises the temperature of the container-oil system by $2 \,K$ in $20 \,min$. Assuming no other heat losses in any of the processes,the specific heat capacity of the oil is ................ $\times 10^3 \,J K^{-1} kg^{-1}$.
