A lead bullet stopped on hitting an iron plate at a velocity of `300 m cdot s^(-1)`. Find out the rise in temperature of the bullet, if the heat evolved is shared equally between the bullet and the plate. Given, `J = 4 cdot 2 xx 10^(7) erg cdot cal^(-1)`, specific heat of lead = `0.03 cal cdot g^(-1) cdot^(@)C^(-1)`.
