A steel ball falls from a height of 20m into a pile of sand. If 1/2 the energy ends up i as heat in the ball,m how much is the ball heated?
I am starting out with the work equation.
Work = force * displacement.
Work = 9.81m/s^2(20m)
Work = 196.2 m^2/s^2
I am having trouble relating this to a Joule or calorie or some type of heat energy.
Thanks for any help
