heat=mass*specific heat*changintemp
but heat=force*distance
and you set them equal, solve for change in temp.
However, the distance the nail traveled is not specified. So it can't be worked. Wondering if you are in a class without a qualified teacher...or you are mistyping the questions.
Hammering a nail into wood makes it get hotter. Consider a 5-g long, 5-gauge steel nail and a hammer that exerts an average force of 500 N on the nail when it is introduced to a piece of wood. The nail gets warmer each time. Demonstrate that the increase in the temperature of the nail is 13.3 ° C. (Suppose the specific heat of the steel is 450 J / kg * ° C)
