a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work

Physics
1 answer:
ioda3 years ago

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.

Hooke’s law describes the linear relationship between stress and strain through Young’s modulus. Given two materials under the s
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The material with higher modulus will stretch less than

The material with lower modulus

Explanation:

A material with a higher modulus is stiffer and has better resistance to deformation. The modulus is defined as the force per unit area required to produce a deformation or in other words the ratio of stress to strain.

E= stress/stain

Hooks law states that provided the elastic limit is not exceeded the extension e of a spring is directly proportional to the load or force attached

F=ke

Where k is the constant which gives the measure of the spring under tension

8a. What is the equivalent resistance of the following circuit?
ollegr [7]

Answer: Take your pick

Explanation:

if they are all in parallel 1 /(1/100 + 1/300 + 1/50) = 30 Ω

if 50 is in parallel with 2 in series 1 / (1/(100 + 300) + 1/50) = 44.444...Ω

if 100 is in parallel with 2 in series 1 / (1/(50 + 300) + 1/100) = 77.777...Ω

if 300 is in parallel with 2 in series 1 / (1/(100 + 50) + 1/300) = 100 Ω

If 50 is in series with 2 in parallel 50 + 1/(1/100 + 1/300) = 125 Ω

If 100 is in series with 2 in parallel 100 + 1/(1/50 + 1/300) = 142.857...Ω

If 300 is in series with 2 in parallel 300 + 1/(1/50 + 1/100) = 333.333...Ω

If they are all in series 100 + 300 + 50 = 450 Ω

Compare the foot of mollusks with the tube feet of echinoderms.
stira [4]

Mollusks live in fresh water, in marine environment, but also on land.

<span>Echinoderms live only in water. This is the reason why they have developed different systems for moving. Mollusks have only singular muskullus foot for walking and Echinoderms have tube feet which they use for moving, as well for collecting and transporting food to their mouth. </span>

The light at an intersection is red and a police officer directs you to go through the intersection. what should you do?
Alex777 [14]

Go through the intersection without stopping is the appropriate action to be taken in a case where the light at an intersection is red and a police officer directs you to go through it.

<h3>What is Traffic light?</h3>

This is also referred to as stoplights and is present in the intersection of roads etc so as to help control traffic and prevent the occurrences of accidents on the road.

In cases where there is no officer, the traffic light must be obeyed but where the officer is present then his authority overrules and must be obeyed as he is in the best position to know the reason why the traffic light should be ignored in this type of scenario.

This is therefore the reason why the individual should go through the intersection without stopping.
