Assuming that all the bullet’s energy heats the paraffin, its final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.
<h3>What is temperature?</h3>
Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness of the material.
The energy of the bullet E = 1/2 mv²
E = 1/2 x 10 x 10⁻³ x (2000)²
E = 2 x 10⁴ J
This heat is used in heating the paraffin
E = m x c ΔT = m x c (Tfinal -Tinitial)
2 x 10⁴ J = 1 x 2.8 x 10³ x (Tfinal -20)
Tfinal = 27.1°C
Thus, the final temperature is 27.1 degree C. The correct option is D.
