Answer:
4.65 minutes.

Explanation:
Theoretical Assumptions (not realistic): 1) ALL of the heat energy is transferred to the water, and 2)the water is uniformly heated. 3) The water density is 1.0g/mL.
Because we are only heating it TO the “boiling point”, ONLY the energy to heat the water from 20 to 100’C using the heat capacity or specific heat of water is required. A “Watt” is 1 Joule/second. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-’C. Water mass is 1000g. The energy required to heat it is therefore

An 3.7 lb hammer head, traveling at 5.8 ft/s strikes a nail and is brought to a stop in 0.00068 s. The acceleration of gravity i
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

31677.2 lb

Explanation:

mass of hammer (m) = 3.7 lb

initial velocity (u) = 5.8 ft/s

final velocity (v) = 0

time (t) = 0.00068 s

acceleration due to gravity (g) 32 ft/s^{2}

force = m x ( a + g )

where

  • m is the mass = 3.7 lb
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s^{2}
  • a is the acceleration of the hammer

       from v = u + at

       a = (v-u)/ t

       a = (0-5.8)/0.00068 = -8529.4 ( the negative sign showa the its decelerating)

we can substitute all required values into force= m x (a+g)

force = 3.7 x (8529.4 + 32) = 31677.2 lb
