A 100   g of iron nail is hit by a 1 . 5   kg hammer striking at a velocity of 60   ms - 1 .…
Solution
If we heat-up an object, then, the energy is used to either change the temperature of the body or to change the state of the body.
If it changes the temperature, then,
where, is the heat given, is the mass and is the change in temperature.
We know that a moving object has an energy in the form of kinetic energy, i.e.,
When that moving object strikes another object, it loses some energy which changes into the heat energy and this heat energy increases the temperature of the object.
Given a hammer of is moving with .
Kinetic energy
One-fourth of kinetic energy changes into heat energy.
Heat energy
