Question Number 11740 by tawa last updated on 30/Mar/17
Metal pellets of mass 0.1 kg are fired into an iron plate of large mass m  and specific heat capacity c at a temperature of 15°C . 25% of the kinetic  energy of the pellets is converted thermal energy and the plate temperature  rises to 16°C. The average speed of the pellets before hitting the plate was ?
