A firearms company is testing a new model of rifle by firing a 7.50-g lead bullet into a block of wood having a mass of 17.5 kg. The bullet embeds into the block and the collision generates heat. As a consequence, the temperature rises by 0.040°C, as measured with a high-precision thermometer. Assuming that all the kinetic energy of the bullet goes into heating the system, what is the bullet’s speed when it enters the block? The initial temperatures of bullet and wooden block can be considered identical and the specific heats of lead and wood are cPb = 130 J/(kg ⋅ C°) and c wood = 1700 J/(kg ⋅ C°), respectively.

Orque can be calculated by multiplying the force (n) applied at 90? to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is n? m. if the force (at 90? to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?
