Answer:
Explanation:
Kinetic energy of block will be converted into heat energy by friction .
Heat energy produced = 1/2 m v²
= .5 x 4.8 x 1.2²
= 3.456 J
85% of energy is converted into heat energy , so heat energy produced
= .85 x 3.456 = 2.9376 J .
If Q heat is given to m mass of object having s as specific heat and Δt is increase in temperature
Q = msΔt
specific heat of iron s = 462 J / kg C
Putting the values ,
2.9376 = 4.8 x 462 x Δt
Δt = 13.24 x 10⁻⁴ ⁰C.
