A 0.020 kg lead pellet is fired into a 0.180 kg lead block. The temperature of the block rises by 5.0 °C. The specific heat capacity of lead is 130 J/(kg °C). Assuming all the pellet’s kinetic energy heats the block and pellet together, what is the total thermal energy gained by the lead?
- 26 J
- 52 J
- 130 J
- 650 J
