A 2.65g aluminum bullet at 31.4°C is fired at a speed of 209 m/s into a large block of ice at 0°C, in which it embeds itself. What quantity of ice melts?
Q=(9.00E2)(.00265)(31.4)=74.889J
74.889J=m(33.5E4)=2.23E-4kg
so i get a final answer of 2.23E-4kg but its wrong. i think I am either missing a step because I am not using the velocity of the bullet, or I am plugging wrong numbers in. any help is appreciated.
