To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (5*10^{-3})(300)^2

KE =  225J

On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is

Q_1 = mC_p \Delta T

Q_2 = L_f m

Where,

m = Mass

C_p =Specific Heat

\Delta T =Change at temperature

L_f = Latent heat of fussion

Heat required to heat up to melting point,

Q = Q_1+Q_2

Q = mC_p \Delta T+L_f m

Q = 5*0.128*(327-20) + 5*24.7

Q = 310J

The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.

A 0.1m/s^2
T 2min (120 sec)

S=ut+0.5at^2
S=0(120 sec)+0.5(0.1m/s^2)(120 sec)^2
S=720m

Distance double 720m*2=1440m

V^2=u^2+2as
V^2=(0)^2+2(0.1 m/s^2)(1440m)
V^2=288
V= square root of 288=12 root 2=16.97 to 2 decimal places
