A hammer of mass \(200 \mathrm{~kg}\) strikes a steel block of mass \(200 \mathrm{~g}\) with a velocity \(8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\). If \(23 \%\) of the energy is utilized to heat the steel block, the rise in temperature of the block is (specific heat capacity of steel, \(\left.=460 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 16 K

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, mass of hammer, \(m=200 \mathrm{~kg}\), steel block of the mass \(=200 \mathrm{~g}=0.2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and specific heat capacity of steel, \(s=460 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~kg}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\) Velocity of hammer, \(v=8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) As we know that, Kinetic…
