First of all, looks like your teacher is indeed pretty horrible. Secondly, the constraints to consider would be proper weight distribution, methods to minimize excessive motion of the building structure, and quantities such as volume and density, which would help in determining the optimal structure. Keeping the frequency of oscillation for a building low in case of an earthquake or natural disaster would also be a priority.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of sledge hammer;
Mh =2.26 kg
Hammer speed;
Vh = 64.4 m/s
The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,
K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²
K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²
K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J
If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then
ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)
∆U = ¼ × 4686.52
∆U = 1171.63 J
Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.
Answer:
<h2>80,000 J</h2>
Explanation:
The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula
PE = mgh
where
m is the mass
h is the height
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²
From the question we have
PE = 250 × 10 × 32
We have the final answer as
<h3>80,000 J</h3>
Hope this helps you
