Specific Heat Capacity

Q1- A 100Kg player runs at 8.0 m/s when he slides on one knee over the try line to score a try. Assume that friction between the knee and the grass surface converts 40% of the player’s original kinetic energy to heat in the skin tissue of the knee ( tissue mass is approximately 15g) and determine the rise in temperature in the skin tissue. The specific heat capacity of skin tissue is 1700J/kg/K
