Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).
Explanation:
Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.
Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =
Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg
Change in temperature =
Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K



The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).
Speed = (distance) / (time)
Speed = (
Velocity = speed, and its direction
The velocity of the plane is 10.2 miles per second East.
(about 48 times the speed of sound)
