Answer:
A. Increase in temperature is 0.0176 degree Celsius. b. the remaining energy will be lost.
Explanation:
The mass of copper block = 7kg
Initial speed = 4.0 m/s
Specific heat of copper = 0.385 j/g degree Celcius.
a. The increase in temperature is calculated below:
[tex]\text{Change in kinetic energy} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\= \frac{1}{2} \times 2.7 \times 4^{2} = 21.6 J \\[/tex]
85% of energy is converted into internal energy.
[tex]mc\DeltaT = 21.6 \times 0.85 \\2.7 \times 385 \times \Delta T = 21.6 \times 0.85 \\\Delta T = 0.0176 degree \ celsius[/tex]
b. The remaining  15 per cent of kinetic energy will be lost and it will be changed into other forms.
