At a crime scene, the forensic investigator notes that the 6.2-gg lead bullet that was stopped in a doorframe apparently melted completely on impact. The specific heat of lead is 130 J/kg⋅C∘J/kg⋅C∘, the heat of fusion is 25 kJ/kgkJ/kg, the melting point is 327∘C∘C. Assuming the bullet was shot at temperature 20 ∘C∘C, what does the investigator calculate as the minimum muzzle velocity of the gun?
Earth’s surface absorbs an average of about 960. W/m2 from the Sun’s irradiance. The power absorbed is Pabs = (960. W/m2) (Adisc), where Adisc = π(RE)2 is Earth’s projected area. An equal amount of power is radiated so that Earth remains in thermal equilibrium with its environment at nearly 0 K. Estimate Earth’s surface temperature by setting the radiated power from Stefan’s law equal to the absorbed power and solving for the temperature in Kelvin. In Stefan’s law, assume e = 1 and take the area to be A = 4π(RE)2, the surface area of a spherical Earth. (Note : Earth’s atmosphere acts like a blanket and warms the planet to a global average about 30 K above the value calculated here.)
