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

Sound level B in decibels is defined as
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The approximate combined sound  intensity is I_{T}=1.1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The decibel  scale intensity for busy traffic is 80 dB. so intensity will be

10log(\frac{I_{1}}{I_{0}} )=80, therefore I_{1}=1\times10^{8}I_{0}=1\times10^{8} * 1\times10^{-12}W/m^{2}=1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}

In the same way for the loud conversation having a decibel intensity of 70 dB.

10log(\frac{I_{2}}{I_{0}} )=70, therefore I_{2}=1\times10^{7}I_{0}=1\times10^{7} * 1\times10^{-12}W/m^{2}=1\times10^{-5}W/m^{2}

Finally we add both of them I_{T}=I_{1}+I_{2}=1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}+1\times10^{-5}W/m^{2}=1.1\times10^{-4}W/m^{2}, is the approximate combined sound  intensity.

The aluminum atom______electrons to form an ion.<br> The ion that is formed is______.
Alchen [17]

The aluminum atom_loses_____electrons to form an ion.

The ion that is formed is_Al³⁺_____.

aluminium has the electronic configuration as 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

from the electronic configuration , we see that aluminium can attain stability by losing 3 electrons from outer shell.

after losing 3 electrons , the ion formed is given as Al³⁺

hence the correct options to fill in the blanks are lose  and Al³⁺

What does this observation tell you about the relationship between the external force applied and the object’s acceleration (the
Dvinal [7]

Explanation:

Newton’s second law of motion is closely related to Newton’s first law of motion. It mathematically states the cause and effect relationship between force and changes in motion. Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. Before we can write down Newton’s second law as a simple equation giving the exact relationship of force, mass, and acceleration, we need to sharpen some ideas that have already been mentioned.

First, what do we mean by a change in motion? The answer is that a change in motion is equivalent to a change in velocity. A change in velocity means, by definition, that there is an acceleration. Newton’s first law says that a net external force causes a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration.

What are the four answers (in order) to fill in these blanks?<br><br> URGENT
ser-zykov [4K]

In a circuit, the electromotive force can be said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons". This push then creates what is known as a current, which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can be slowed down or restricted by a resistor, and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric power.

Explanation:

The electromotive force is the potential difference produced by the battery in the circuit. When the circuit is connected to the battery, this potential difference causes the electron to start moving towards the point at higher potential: in this sense, the electromotive force is said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons".

This flow of electrons moving in the circuit is known as current.

Then, in the circuit, it is possible to place a piece of circuit with a smaller cross-section that restricts the flow of electrons: this component is known as resistor, and its property of restricting the flow of electron is known as resistance.

In a circuit, electromotive force (V), current (I) and resistance (R) are related by Ohm's law:

V=RI

Finally, when a current passes through a resistor, part of the electric energy is converted into thermal energy, and some power is dissipated through the resistor. The power dissipated is given by

P=I^2 R

This power can be harnessed, for instance, if the resistor is connected to a light bulb: the energy is transformed into heat and light, and so the light bulb turns on, providing illumination.
