If there are no heat losses,the heat released by the condensation of $x \, g$ of steam at $100^\circ C$ into water at $100^\circ C$ can be used to convert $y \, g$ of ice at $0^\circ C$ into water at $100^\circ C$. Then the ratio $y : x$ is nearly (in $:1$)

$A$ lead ball moving with a velocity $V$ strikes a wall and stops. If $50\%$ of its energy is converted into heat,then what will be the increase in temperature? (Specific heat of lead is $S$)

During summers in India,one of the common practices to keep cool is to make ice balls of crushed ice,dip them in flavoured sugar syrup,and sip them. For this,a stick is inserted into crushed ice,and it is squeezed in the palm to make it into a ball. Equivalently in winter,in those areas where it snows,people make snowballs and throw them around. Explain the formation of a ball out of crushed ice or snow in the light of the $p-T$ diagram of water.

Two objects made of the same material have masses $m$ and $2m$ and are at temperatures $2T$ and $T$ respectively. When heat $Q$ is supplied to the object of mass $2m$, its temperature rises to $2T$. If the same heat $Q$ is supplied to the object of mass $m$, its temperature rises to:
