The $e.m.f.$ in a thermoelectric circuit with one junction at $0\,^\circ C$ and the other at $t\,^\circ C$ is given by $E = At - Bt^2$. The neutral temperature is then

  • A
    $A/B$
  • B
    $-A/(2B)$
  • C
    $-B/(2A)$
  • D
    $A/(2B)$

$10\, g$ of a lead bullet travelling at $300\, m/s$ strikes against a block of wood and comes to rest. Assuming $50\%$ of the heat produced is absorbed by the bullet,the increase in its temperature is ........ $^\circ C$. (Specific heat of lead $= 150\, J/kg\cdot K$)

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ moving with a uniform velocity $v$ stops suddenly after hitting a target. If the whole mass melts,given the specific heat $S$,initial temperature $25^{\circ}C$,melting point $475^{\circ}C$,and latent heat $L$,then $v$ is given by:
