Ok, once I started working in the same units (Thanks!) I realized that with a temperature change of 460K, the bullet has easily reached its melting point.
As the bullet starts at 297K it must use 303K worth of heat to reach its melting point.
Using Q=mc\DeltaT plugging in Q =...
Homework Statement
A 5 g lead bullet moving at 343 m/s is stopped in a block of wood. All of the kinetic energy goes into heat energy added to the bullet. The initial temperature of the bullet is 24 degrees C. What is the final temperature of the bullet in degrees C? (cPb = 0.128 kJ/kg . K...
