A 2.0g lead bullet moving at a speed of 200m/s becomes embedded in the 2.0kg wooden block. Assume that all of the kinetic energy "lost" in this inelastic collision is heat that goes into raising the bullet's temperature. Calculate the rise in the temperature of the bullet. Will the bullet melt? Will the wood catch on fire?
