The top of a lake gets frozen at a place where the surrounding air is at a temperature of $-20\,^oC$. Then

  • A
    The temperature of the layer of water in contact with the lower surface of the ice block will be at $0\,^oC$ and that at the bottom of the lake will be $4\,^oC$
  • B
    The temperature of water below the lower surface of ice will be $4\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
  • C
    The temperature of the water below the lower surface of ice will be $0\,^oC$ right up to the bottom of the lake
  • D
    The temperature of the layer of water immediately in contact with the lower surface of ice will be about $-20\,^oC$ and that of water at the bottom will be $0\,^oC$

If two balls of the same metal weighing $5\, g$ and $10\, g$ strike a target with the same velocity,and the heat energy developed is used solely for raising their temperature,then the temperature rise will be higher:

$A$ mass $m$ of material exists in its solid state at its melting temperature $0^\circ C$. The following processes occur to the material:
Process-$1$: An amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and $\frac{2}{3}$ of the material melts.
Process-$2$: An identical additional amount of thermal energy $Q$ is added to the material, and the material is now a liquid at $40^\circ C$.
