Now let’s apply the work–energy theorem to a more complex, multistep problem. In a pile driver, a steel hammerhead with mass 200

kg is lifted 3.00 m above the top of a vertical I-beam that is to be driven into the ground (Figure 1) . The hammer is then dropped, driving the I-beam 7.40 cm farther into the ground. The vertical rails that guide the hammerhead exert a constant 60.0 N friction force on it. Use the work–energy theorem to find
(a) the speed of the hammerhead just as it hits the I-beam and
(b) the average force the hammerhead exerts on the I-beam.

Answer:

a) v = 7.67

b) n = 81562 N

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of hammer-head, m = 200 kg

- The height at from which hammer head drops, s12 = 3.00 m

- The amount of distance the I-beam is hammered, s23 = 7.40 cm

- The resistive force by contact of hammer-head and I-beam, F = 60.0 N

Find:-

(a) the speed of the hammerhead just as it hits the I-beam and

(b) the average force the hammerhead exerts on the I-beam.

Solution:-

- We will consider the hammer head as our system and apply the conservation of energy principle because during the journey of hammer-head up till just before it hits the I-beam there are no external forces acting on the system:

                                   ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                                  K_2 - K_1 = P_1- P_2

Where,  K_2: Kinetic energy of hammer head as it hits the I-beam

             K_1: Initial kinetic energy of hammer head ( = 0 ) ... rest

             P_2: Gravitational potential energy of hammer head as it hits the I-beam. (Datum = 0)

             P_1: Initial gravitational potential energy of hammer head      

- The expression simplifies to:

                                K_2 = P_1

Where,                     0.5*m*v2^2 = m*g*s12

                                v2 = √(2*g*s12) = √(2*9.81*3)

                                v2 = 7.67 m/s

- For the complete journey we see that there are fictitious force due to contact between hammer-head and I-beam the system is no longer conserved. All the kinetic energy is used to drive the I-beam down by distance s23. We will apply work energy principle on the system:

                               Wnet = ( P_3 - P_1 ) + W_friction

                               Wnet = m*g*s13 + F*s23

                               n*s23 = m*g*s13 + F*s23

Where,    n: average force the hammerhead exerts on the I-beam.

               s13 = s12 + s23

Hence,

                             n = m*g*( s12/s23 + 1) + F

                             n = 200*9.81*(3/0.074 + 1) + 60

                             n = 81562 N

A student has a small metal sphere that hangs from an insulating string. The student, in seeking to determine the charge on the
Leokris [45]

Answer:

the answer the correct one is c

Explanation:

Electric charges of different signs attract and those of the same sign repel. In addition, there are two types of insulating bodies, where the loads are fixed (immobile) and metallic (with mobile loads.

Let's analyze the situation presented

* A rod with positive approaches and the sphere is attracted, so the charge on the sphere is negative

* A rod with a negative charge approaches and the sphere is attracted, therefore the charge of the sphere must be positive.

For this to happen, the sphere must be unloaded and the charge that creates the phenomenon are induced charges because the mobile charges of the same sign as the sphere are repelled.

when checking the answer the correct one is c
