A lead bullet of mass 21 g travelling at a speed of 100m//s comes to rest in a wooden block . If no heat is taken away by the wood , the rise in temperature of the bullet in the wood nearly is (specified heat of lead = 30 cal//kg^(@)C )

A steel ball of mass 0.1 kg falls freely from a height of 10m an bounces to a height of 5.4m from the ground. If the dissipated energy in this process is absorbed by the ball, the rise in ots temperature is (Specific heat of steel= 460 JKg^(-1)K^(-1)) (g=10ms^(-2)) .
