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.)

The first law of thermodynamics can be given as ________.
MrRa [10]
The first law of thermodynamics can be written as
\Delta U = Q-W
where
\Delta U is the variation of internal energy of the system
Q is the amount of heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system on the surrounding.

Using this form, the sign convention for Q and W becomes:
Q > 0 --> heat absorbed by the system (because it increases the internal energy)
Q < 0 --> heat released by the system (because it decreases the internal energy)
W > 0 --> work done by the system (for instance, an expansion: when the system expands, it does work on the surrounding, and so the internal energy decreases, this is why there is a negative sign in the formula Q-W)
W < 0 --> work done by the surrounding on the system (for instance, a compression: when the system is compressed, the surrounding is doing work on the system, and so the internal energy of the system increases)

Two workers are sliding 290 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 430 N while the ot
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:0.27

Explanation:

Given

One worker Pushes with force F_1=430 N

other Pulls it with a rope of rope F_2=360 N

mass of crate m=290 kg

both forces are horizontal and crate slides with a constant speed

Both forces are in the same direction so Friction will oppose the forces and will be equal in magnitude of sum of two forces because crate is moving with constant speed i.e. net force is zero on it

f_r=F_1+F_2

where f_r is the friction force

f_r=430+360

f_r=790 N

f_r=\mu N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction

N=mg

790=\mu 29\cdot 9.8

\mu =0.27

A proton in a high-energy accelerator is given a kinetic energy of 50.0 GeV. Determine (a) the momentum and (b) the speed of the
koban [17]

(a) The momentum of the proton is determined as 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s.

(b) The speed of the proton is determined as  3.1 x 10⁹ m/s.

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

The momentum of the proton is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
  • v is speed of the proton = ?
<h3>Speed of the proton</h3>

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 50 x 10⁹ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)

v² = 9.6 x 10¹⁸

v = 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

P = mv = (1.67 x10⁻²⁷ x 3.1 x 10⁹) = 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s

What is a positive effect of increased carbon dioxide within the carbon cycle?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The positive impact in the cycle is that CO2 will make plants to use water more efficiently and also thereby make them to become drought resistant and thereby grow faster.

Explanation:

Carbon cycle is the process by which carbon dioxide travels from the atmosphere to the earth and returns back to the atmosphere.

The negative impact of carbon dioxide in the carbon cycle is that it will cause green house effect. However, when it comes to the positive impact in the cycle, CO2 will make plants to use water more efficiently and also thereby make them to become drought resistant and thereby grow faster.
