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.)

What would happen if brains weren't flexible
Leviafan [203]
 <span>brains need to be flexible because if they weren't we would never be able to increase our intellect. human beings are more flexible intellectually because we can turn our hands to more complex things and have the ability to learn better.</span>

A flashlight converts?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Energy conversion in flashlight.

Explanation:

When the switch of a flashlight is on, then the batteries inside them will be connected in a circuit and chemical energy from the batteries will be converted into electrical energy and then the electrical energy will be converted into light energy.

Light energy is also called electromagnetic energy.

Hence, among the given options the correct one is the first option that is:

1. Electrical energy into electromagnetic energy is the answer.

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental dr
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

  1. The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
  2. The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.
