A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half

of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail and does not flow out of the nail. What is the increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows that the carpenter needs to drive the nail in completely? The specific heat of steel is 448 J/kg ∙ K.
a) 2.7 K
b) 1.8 K
c) 7.7 K
d) 8.1 K
e) 3.6 K

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature =\Delta T

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

Q=mc\Delta T

54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T

\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1  Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

Tatiana [17]

if you're shopping for a rack switch, the component on the switch that tells you it can be mounted to a rack is the:

  • Rack ears

<h3>What are rack ears?</h3>

Rack ears are L-shaped objects that can be used to hold a rack switch firmly to the support walls. Rack ears are often found at the front panel of the rack which is to be mounted.

When a person purchases a rack switch and finds the rack ears there, it is a signal that the item can be secured firmly to rails. Sometimes, the rack ears also appear as extensions.
