A lead bullet penetrates into a solid object and melts. Assuming that 50% of its kinetic energy was used to heat it, calculate the initial speed of the bullet. The initial temperature of the bullet is `27^@C` and its melting point is `327^@C`. Latent heat of fusion of lead `= 2.5 xx (10^4) J//kg` and specific heat capacity of lead `=125 J//kg-K`.
