A hammer of mass M is moving at speed v0 when it strikes a nail of negligible mass that is stuck in a wooden block. The hammer i

s observed to drive the nail a distance L deeper into the block.
(a) Find the work W done on the hammer by the nail. Express your answer as a function of F and L, where F is the force the nail exerts on the hammer. Don't forget to consider the sign of your answer.
(b) Find the change in kinetic energy of the hammer. Express your answer in terms of M and v0.
(c) Find the magnitude F of the force that the wooden block exerts on the nail, assuming that this force is independent of the depth of penetration of the nail into the wood.
(d) Now evaluate the magnitude of the holding force of the wooden block on the nail by assuming that the force necessary to pull the nail out is the same as that needed to drive it in, which we just derived.
Assume a relatively heavy M = 0.5 kg hammer (about 18 ounces), moving with speed v0 = 10 m/s. (If such a hammer were swung this hard upward and released, it would rise 5 m). Take the penetration depth L to be 2 cm, which is appropriate for one hit on a relatively heavy construction nail. Express your answer to the nearest pound. (Note: 1 lb = 4:45 N.)

Calculate the angle for the third-order maximum of 580-nm wavelength yellow light falling on double slits separated by 0.100 mm.
alekssr [168]

<u>Answer:</u> The angle of diffraction is 0.498°

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the angle of diffraction, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

n\lambda =2d\sin \theta

where,  

n = order of diffraction = 3

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 580nm=5.80\times 10^{-7}m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^{9}nm )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = 0.100 mm = 1.0\times 10^{-4}       (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\theta = angle of diffraction = ?

Putting values in above equation:

3\times 5.80\times 10^{-7}=2\times 1.00\times 10^{-4}\sin \theta\\\\\sin \theta = 0.0087\\\\\theta=\sin ^{-1} (0.0087)=0.498

Hence, the angle of diffraction is 0.498°

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.

Describes the relationship between the spectrum of one atom and the spectrum of another?
krok68 [10]

The relationship between the number of visible spectral lines are identical for atoms .However they have unique wavelengths.

Option B

<u> Explanation:</u>

A spectrum is a range of frequencies or a range of wavelengths. The photon energy of the emitted photon is equal to the difference between two states. For every atom there are quite many electron transitions and each has a energy difference.

This difference in wavelength causes spectrum .As each element emission spectrum is unique because each atom has different energy and causes uniqueness in the emission spectrum . Hence, due to the difference in energy it emits different wavelengths.
