A liquid of density 0.85 g cm-3 flows through a calorimeter at the rate of 8.0 cm3 s-1. Heat is added by means of a 250 W electric heating coil and a temperature difference of 15° C is established in steady-state conditions between the inflow and the outflow points of the liquid. The specific heat for the liquid will be (1 kcal =4186 J )

A bullet of mass 5 g moving at a speed of 200 m s-1 strikes a rigidly fixed wooden plank of thickness 0.2 m normally and passes through it losing half of its kinetic energy. If it again strikes an identical rigidly fixed wooden plank and passes through it, assuming the same resistance in the two planks, the ratio of the thermal energies produced in the two planks is

A cooking vessel on a slow burner contains 5 kg of water and an unknown mass of ice in equilibrium at 0oC at time t = 0. The temperature of the mixture is measured at various times and the result is plotted as shown in diagram. During the first 50 min the mixture remains at 0oC. From 50 min to 60 min, the temperature increases to 2oC. Neglecting the heat capacity of the heat capacity of the vessel, the initial mass of the ice is
