A0.07-kg lead bullet traveling 258 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. if all of the bullet's energy is converted to heat that it alone absorbs, what is its temperature change?

temperature change is 262.06°K

Explanation:

given data

mass = 0.07 kg

velocity = 258 m/s

to find out

what is its temperature change

solution

we know here

heat change Q is is equal to kinetic energy that is

KE = 0.5 × m× v²   1

here m is mass and v is velocity

KE = 0.5 × 0.07 × 258²

KE = 2329.74 J

and we know

Q = mC∆t     2

here m is mass and ∆t is change in temperature and C is 127J/kg-K

so put here all value

2329.74 = 0.07 × 127 × ∆t

∆t = 262.06

so temperature change is 262.06°K

carbon is found in all living things. carbon atoms move constantly through

living organisms, the oceans, the atmosphere, and the earth’s crust in what is

known as the carbon cycle. the directions taken by carbon atoms through this

cycle are very complicated and can take millions of years to make a full circle.

all animals, from humans to the dinosaurs are part of the carbon cycle. when

animals eat food, they get carbon in the form of carbohydrates and proteins.

in animals, oxygen combines with food in the cells to produce energy for daily

activity and then gives off carbon. the carbon combines with oxygen to form

carbon dioxide (co2) and is released back into the atmosphere as a waste

product when animals breathe and exhale.

from 145-65 million years ago, earth was much

hotter than today and covered with dense,

tropical swamp forests. the trees and other

plants were immense and

provided an endless supply of

food for the giant animals that

roamed the land. somewhere in

the air above one of these

forests, a lone carbon atom has joined

up with two oxygen atoms to form a molecule of co2.

the co2 molecule was sucked into the tiny holes (stomata) on the leaf of a

fern plant and joined with sunlight, chlorophyll and water to make food and

energy in the plant’s cells through photosynthesis. the oxygen (o2) from the

co2 molecule was sent back into the atmosphere; the carbon atom (c) was

detached and used to make a molecule of sugar.

if that carbon atom had been eaten instead, a totally

different situation would have developed. let’s say

that a giant plant-eating dinosaur (herbivore) ate the

fern for breakfast, and swallowed the carbon in the

fern in the form of carbohydrates and proteins. in

the process of respiration, oxygen combined with

the carbohydrates and proteins in the dinosaur’s cells

to provide energy for its daily activity.
