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.)

____ is the detection of halo objects like brown dwarfs when their gravitational fields concentrate the light of distant sources
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Microlensing.

Explanation:

This techniques is called Microlensing.

Microlensing is a method of gravitational lensing where light from a backdrop point of origin is curved to develop distorted, numerous and/or lightened images by the gravity field of a foreground lens.

This method is very effective in discovering planets that are far-far from earth.It is actually an astronomical effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.

pogonyaev

Answer:

D. Ramesh and Ravi are correct, but they are using different measurement scales.

\Huge{\underline{\textrm{Explanation}}}Explanation

Here, Ravi says that his body temperature is 100 degrees, but does not mention that whether it is 100 degrees Celsius or 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature of a human body is more than 100.4 degree Fahrenheit (38°C), or near to it, the person is considered to have fever.

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius and not 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thus, they both are using different measurement scales.
