The only real difference is that common seismic waves travel through the ground and sound waves travel through the air. If you had a pipe attached to granite and you were listening to it, you might detect both.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1547.6 J

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, the sum of initial and final energy is the same. Energy can only be transformed into other forms but can't be created nor lost

Initial kinetic energy of the hammer system is given by

KE_i=0.5mv^{2} where m is mass of the body and v is the velocity

Substituting m for mass of hammer which is 2.44 Kg and v for 62 m/s

KE_i=0.5*2.44 Kg*(62 m/s)^{2}=4689.68 J

Since the hammer comes to rest, the final kinetic energy is zero since it's velocity is zero

KE_f=0 J

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\triangle KE= KE_f-KE_i hence 0-4689.68  J=-4689.68  J

Change in total internal energy is given by

\triangle PE-\triangle KE and in this case the change in potential energy is zero

\triangle PE-\triangle KE=0--4689.68 J=4689.68 J

Since only 0.33 of this energy is converted hence

0.33\times4689.68 J=1547.5944 J\approx 1547.6 J
