Which of these is not a standard unit? a. second b. metre c. hand span d. gram

Leto [7]

Answer: Hand span

Explanation: Hand span is not a standard unit.

Second is the unit of time.

Meter is the unit of length or distance covered by an object.

Gram is the unit of weight of an object.

Hand span is not a standard unit. This is because the size of hand varies from person to person. Hence, the correct option is (c) "hand span".

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J$

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

$\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J$

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q = $3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J$

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature = $\Delta T$

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T$

$\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K$

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1 Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

Assume a change at the source of sound reduces the wavelength of a sound wave in air by a factor of 3.

noname [10]

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$ ......(1)

(i) Here, the wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3. Equation (1) becomes :

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So, if wavelength of a sound wave in air reduces by a factor of 3, then the frequency will increases by a factor of 3.

(ii) It remains the same.

10points asap A force of 30 N acts upon a 7 kg block. Calculate its acceleration.

nekit [7.7K]

Hello! Assuming that the only force acting on the mass is 30N...

Fnet = 30N
Fnet = ma (mass x acceleration)
ma = 30N
a = 30N / m
a = 30N / 7kg
a = 4.2857 m/s^2
a = 4 m/s^2

I hope this helps!
