Answer:
ΔT = 302 °c
Explanation:
mass (m) = 4.6 g = 0.0046 kg
velocity (v) = 278 m/s
specific heat of lead (c) = 128 J/kg. °c
kinetic energy = 0.5 mx
kinetic energy = 0.5 x 0.0046 x
kinetic energy = 177.8 J
since all the kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy,
kinetic energy = thermal energy (E) = 177.8 J
thermal energy = m x c x ΔT
where ΔT is the temperature change
177.8 = 0.0046 x 128 x ΔT
ΔT = 177.8 / 0.59
ΔT = 302 °c
