A piece of iron block moves across a rough horizontal surface before coming to rest. The mass of the block is 3.30 kg, and its initial speed is 2.70 m/s. How much does the block's temperature increase, if it absorbs 75% of its initial kinetic energy as internal energy? The specific heat of iron is 452 J/(kg · °C).
