head= 0.11kcal/kgCdegrees) I don't comprehend any of this!

kinetic energy in hammer= heat in hammer
1/2 m v^2= m*specificheatSteel*deltatemp

change in temperature= (1/2mv^2)/(m*specifheat)

change in temperature= v^2/(2*specificheat)
Answered by bobpursley
change in temperature: (5m/s)^2 /2*920

Did you change kcal to joules? .11kcal=920Joules check that.
