Problem

A lead bullet weighing 18.0 g and travelling at 500 m/s500 \text{ m/s} is embedded in a wooden block of 1.00 kg. If both the bullet and the block were initially at 25.0∘C25.0^\circ\text{C}, what is the final temperature of block containing bullet? Assume no temperature loss to the surroundings. (Heat capacity of wood = 0.5 kcal/kg⋅K0.5 \text{ kcal/kg}\cdot\text{K} ; heat capacity of lead = 0.030 kcal/kg⋅K0.030 \text{ kcal/kg}\cdot\text{K} )
