-- The string is 1 m long.  That's the radius of the circle that the mass is
traveling in.  The circumference of the circle is  (π) x (2R) = 2π meters .

-- The speed of the mass is (2π meters) / (0.25 sec) = 8π m/s .

-- Centripetal acceleration is  V²/R = (8π m/s)² / (1 m) = 64π^2 m/s²

-- Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (1kg) x (64π^2 m/s²) =

                                                         64π^2 kg-m/s² = 64π^2 N = about <span>631.7 N .

</span>
That's it.  It takes roughly a 142-pound pull on the string to keep
1 kilogram revolving at a 1-meter radius 4 times a second !<span> 
</span>
If you eased up on the string, the kilogram could keep revolving
in the same circle, but not as fast.

You also need to be very careful with this experiment, and use a string
that can hold up to a couple hundred pounds of tension without snapping. 
If you've got that thing spinning at 4 times per second and the string breaks,
you've suddenly got a wild kilogram flying away from the circle in a straight
line, at 8π meters per second ... about 56 miles per hour !  This could definitely
be hazardous to the health of anybody who's been watching you and wondering
what you're doing.

A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s
zubka84 [21]

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.

describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?
Wewaii [24]

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.

How much would a 15.0 kg object weigh on Neptune?
yan [13]
The gravity on Neptune is 11.15 m/s²
the gravity on earth is 9.81 m/s²
divide the Neptune and earth gravity we get 1.13
which means object on neptune is 1.13 heavier than earth
yield, weigh of the object on neptune is 1.13×15=17.04kg
