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

Two soccer players run toward each other. One player has a mass of 85 kg
sveta [45]

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 55 kg-m/s

It is given that,

Mass of player 1, m₁ = 85 kg

Mass of player 2, m₂ = 105 kg

Speed of player 1, v₁ = -8 m/s (west)

Speed of player 2, v₂ = 7 m/s (east)

Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity. For this system, momentum is given by :

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2p=m

1

v

1

+m

2

v

2

p=85\ kg\times (-8\ m/s)+105\ kg\times 7\ m/sp=85 kg×(−8 m/s)+105 kg×7 m/s

p = 55 kg-m/s

The total momentum of the system made up of the two players is 55 kg-m/s.

gtnhenbr [62]
<span>240,000 miles / hour² Average acceleration can be calculated by dividing the change in speed by the elapsed time. Since the dragster's speed was 0 when the light turned green, the change in speed is simply 300 mph. Now, divide that by the time: 300 mph / 0.00125 hours = 240,000 miles / hour² By the way, 0.00125 hours is just 4.5 seconds!</span>

Why does a lone pair of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than a bonding pair of electrons?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.

Explanation:

When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.

In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.

Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.20 MeV and rest energy of 0.511 MeV. They
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

E = 1.711 MeV

Explanation:

From the law of the conservation of energy:

K.E_{e}+K.E_p + E_{e}+E_{p} = 2 E

where,

K.E_e=K.Ep= the kinetic energy of positron and electron = 1.2 MeV

E_e=E_p = Rest energy of the electron and the positron = 0.511 MeV

E = Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

1.2\ MeV + 1.2\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV = 2E\\\\E = \frac{3.422\ MeV}{2}\\\\

<u>E = 1.711 MeV</u>
