How much force can a 2.5 kg sledge hammer excerpt on a nail if you can swing the hammer at 20 m/s and the hammer contacts the na

Answer:

625 N

Explanation:

The impulse given to the nail is equal to the change in momentum of the hammer:

$I=F \Delta t=m \Delta v$

where

F is the force exerted by the hammer

$\Delta t=0.08 s$ is the time of contact

$m=2.5 kg$ is the mass

$\Delta v=20 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the hammer

Substituting the data and re-arranging the equation, we can find the force:

$F=\frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(2.5 kg)(20 m/s)}{0.08 s}=625 N$

A 3" diameter germanium wafer that is 0.020" thick at 300K has 1.015 x 10^17 As atoms added to it. What is the resistivity of th

Ber [7]

Answer:

0.546 ohm / μm

Explanation:

Given that :

N = 1.015 * 10^17

Electron mobility, u = 3900

Hole mobility, h = 1900

Ng = 4.42 x10^22

q = 1.6*10^-19

Resistivity = 1/qNu

Resistivsity (R) = 1/(1.6*10^-19 * 1.015 * 10^17 * 3900)

= 0.01578880889 ohm /cm

Resistivity of germanium :

R = 1 / 2q * sqrt(Ng) * sqrt(u*h)

R = 1 / 2 * 1.6*10^-19 * sqrt(4.42 x10^22) * sqrt(3900*1900)

R = 1 /0.0001831

R = 5461.4964 ohm /cm

5461.4964 / 10000

0.546 ohm / μm

Why does the frequency of a wave increase as the wavelength decreases

olchik [2.2K]

Explanation:

We know that the number of complete waves formed in 1 sec time is frequency and the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is wavelength. And we have the formula that

Velocity = wavelength * frequency

or, frequency = velocity / wavelength

Here we can see frequency is directly proportional to velocity and indirectly proportional to wavelength.

So as the wavelength increases frequency decreases and as the wavelength decreases frequency increases.

If Star A is magnitude 1.0 and Star B is magnitude 9.6 , which is brighter and by what factor?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22

Explanation:

Lets assume,

the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1

the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6

the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively

Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: $(m_{2} - m_{1}) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})$

The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.

We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,

$(9.6 - 1) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})$

$\frac{8.6}{2.5} = \log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})$

$\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 3.44$

Thus,

$(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 2754.22$

It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.

the net external force on the 24-kg mower is stated to be 51 N. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 24 N, what force

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

PART A)

External force will be 75 N

PART B)

distance moved will be 1.125 m

Explanation:

PART A)

Given that net force on the mower is

$F_{net} = 51 N$

now we also know that friction force due to ground is given as

$F_f = 24 N$

now we have

$F_{net} = F_{ext} - F_f$

$51 = F_{ext} - 24$

$F_{ext} = 75 N$

so external force will be 75 N

PART B)

deceleration due to friction when external force is removed from it

$a = \frac{F_f}{m}$

$a = \frac{24}{24} = 1 m/s^2$

now we can find the distance by kinematics

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 1.5^2 = 2(-1)d$

$d = 1.125 m$

so the distance moved will be 1.125 m
