This problem can be solved using a kinematic equation. For this case, the following equation is useful:

v_final = v_initial + at

where,
v_final = final velocity of the nail
v_initial = initial velocity of the nail
a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
t = time 

First, we determine the time it takes for the nail to hit the ground. We know that the initial velocity is 0 m/s since the nail was only dropped. It has a final velocity of 26 m/s. We substitute these values to the equation and solve for t:

26 = 0 + 9.8*t
t = 26/9.8 = 2.6531 s

The problem asks the velocity of the nail at t = 1 second. We then subtract 1 second from the total time 2.6531 with v_final as unknown.

v_final = 0 + 9.8(2.6531-1) = 16.2004 m/s.

Thus, the nail was traveling at a speed of 16. 2004 m/s, 1 second before it hit the ground.

Use the circuit diagram to determine the voltage drop across the 8 Ω resistor.
Rainbow [258]
First we need to find the current flowing in the circuit. The three resistors are in series, so the equivalent resistance of the circuit is the sum of the three resistances:
R_{eq} = R_1 + R_2 + R_3 = 10.0 \Omega + 8.0 \Omega +6.0 \Omega = 24.0 \Omega

Then we can apply Ohm's law to the whole circuit, to find the current flowing:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{24.0 \Omega}=0.5 A

And now we can apply Ohm's law to the resistor of 8.0 \Omega to find the voltage drop across it:
V_{8\Omega} =IR=(0.5 A)(8.0 \Omega)=4 V
