$A$ hammer of mass $200 \ kg$ strikes a steel block of mass $200 \ g$ with a velocity $8 \ ms^{-1}$. If $23 \%$ of the energy is utilized to heat the steel block,the rise in temperature of the block is (specific heat capacity of steel,$s = 460 \ J \ kg^{-1} \ K^{-1}$) (in $K$)

$A$ lead bullet of mass $50 \ g$ at a temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ is fired vertically upwards with a speed of $840 \ m/s$. When the bullet returns to the point of departure,it strikes a large block of ice at $0^{\circ}C$. How much ice (in $g$) will melt? (Specific heat of lead is $0.02 \ cal/g^{\circ}C$,latent heat of fusion of ice is $80 \ cal/g$,and assume all energy is used to melt the ice.)
