When an iron bar of mass m is dropped through a height difference Δh, its potential energy changes by the amount mgΔh, where g is the acceleration of gravity, equal to 9.81 m s^-2. Suppose that when the bar hits the ground, all that energy is converted to heat, increasing the temperature of the bar. If the specific heat capacity of the material in the bar is 0.444 J K^-1 g^-1, calculate the height from which the bar must be dropped to increase the temperature of the bar by 2.24 °C.

A block of mass 4kg is dropped from a height of 2 meters on Earth. If that block is taken to a different planet, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1/4 as strong as it is on Earth, how high should the block be dropped so that it hits the ground with the same final velocity as on Earth? (Hint: you do not need to use gravitational force for this) Express your answer to a maximum of 2 significant...
