An aluminum block slides along a horizontal surface

Reference no: EM13549551

An aluminum block slides along a horizontal surface. The block has an initial speed of 10.0 m/s and an initial temperature of 10.8 C. The block eventually slides to rest due to friction. Assuming all the initial kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and all this energy stays in the block, what is the final temperature of the block? (Note: The specific heat of aluminium is 900 J/kg . K)
