Questions  

A block of ice of mass 50 kg is pushed out on a horizontal plane with a velocity of 5 m/s. Due to friction, it comes to rest after covering a distance of 25 m. How much ice melts?

a
1.86 g
b
1.43 g
c
1.33 g
d
1.75 g

detailed solution

Correct option is A

We havem=WJL=mv22JL=50×252×4.2×80=1.86gwhere L is the latent heat of ice (80 cal/g).
