A carpenter uses a hammer to strike a nail. Approximate the hammer's weight of 1.8lbs, as being concentrated at the head, and as

sume that at impact the head is traveling in the -j direction. If the hammer contacts the nail at 50mph and the impact occurs over 0.023 seconds, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the nail of the hammer?

Answer:

The average force F exherted by the nail over the hammer is 178.4 lbf.

Explanation:

The force F exherted by the nail over the hammer is defined as:

F = |I|/Δt

Where I and Δt are the magnitude of the impact and the period of time respectively. We know that the impact can be calculated as the difference in momentum:

I = ΔP = Pf - Pi

Where Pf and Pi are the momentum after and before the impact. Recalling for the definition for momentum:

P = m.v  

Where m and v are the mass and the velocity of the body respectively. Notice that final hummer's momentum is zero due to the hammers de-acelerate to zero velocity. Then the momentum variation will be expressed as:

ΔP =  - Pi = -m.vi

The initial velocity is given as 50 mph and we will expressed in ft/s:

vi = 50 mph * 1.47 ft/s/mph = 73.3 ft/s

By multiplyng by the mass of 1.8 lbs, we obtain the impulse I:

|I|= |ΔP|= |-m.vi| = 1.8 lb  * 73.3 ft/s = 132 lb.ft/s

Dividing the impulse by a duration of 0.023 seconds, we finally find the force F:

F =  132 lb.ft/s / 0.023 s = 5740 lb.ft/s^2  

Expressing in lbf:

F = 5740 lb.ft/s^2 * 0.031 lbf/lb.ft/s^2  =  178.4 lbf

FrozenT [24]

The code to

  • Declare a variable and increment with a while loop until the variable is not less than 5
  • Create a function that returns the product of two numbers
  • Uses the new keyword to create an array

were written in JavaScript and are found in the attached images

<h3>Declaring a variable</h3>

The first code declares a variable called num and gives it an initial value of 0. It then enters a while loop that lauches a message box (using <em>window.alert</em>) to print the message "<em>Keep going</em>" as long as num remains less than 5.

If nothing is done within the loop to increment num towards the value 5, the loop will go on endlessly notifying the user to "<em>Keep going</em>".

So, an increment of 1 was added to the loop body to increment the variable num. This makes sure the loop terminates.

<h3>Creating a function that returns the product of two numbers</h3>

Here, a function was created that receives two arguments (n1  and n2), then returns the product (n1 * n2)

<h3>Declaring an Array</h3>

This last code segment creates an array using the new keyword. The new keyword is generally used in constructing objects.

In this case the object constructed is an array having three strings;

  • my <em>first name</em>
  • my <em>nickname</em>, and
  • my <em>last name</em>

How does a belt operated supercharger work? (Not a turbo charger)
icang [17]

Answer:

A root-type supercharger works similar to that of an air pump. It pumps air into the intake of the engine. Within the engine cylinder, the compression of the air-fuel mixture takes place. A centrifugal supercharger, works like a turbo, compresses the air in it and then delivers it to the engine.
