A bolt of mass 0.3 kg falls from the ceiling of an elevator moving down with an uniform speed of `7 m s^-1`. It hits the floor of the elevator (length of the elevator = 3 m) and does not rebound. What is the heat produced by the impact ? Would your answer be different if the elevator were stationary ?
