A lead bullet is shot with a speed of 250 m/s into a wooden wall.As a result,the temperature of the bullet increases by 358 $\circ$ C.Assuming that all of its kinetic energy is absorbed as heat by the bullet,what is the mass of the bullet?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mass of the bullet cannot be determined solely from the given information because the specific heat capacity of lead is not provided. To calculate the mass, we would need to know how much energy is required to raise the temperature of a certain mass of lead by a given amount, which requires the specific heat capacity.
