Question

A bullet of mass 5 gram , travelling with a speed of 210 m s - 1 strikes a fixed wooden target. One half of its kinetic energy is converted into heat in the wood. The rise of temperature of the bullet if the specific heat of its material is 0 . 030 gram ° C - 1 1 calorie = 4 .2 × 10 7 ergs close to :, 87 . 5 ° C, 83 . 3 ° C, 119 . 2 ° C, 38 . 4 ° C
