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).
In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.
