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.)

Prove dimensionally that: PV=RT
Oduvanchick [21]

Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT

THE GASEOUS STATE
Pressure  atm
Volume  liters
n  moles
R  L atm mol^-1 K^-1
Temperature  Kelvin


pv = rt

divide both sides by v
pv/v = rt/v

p = rt/v

answer: p = rt/v




Ideal Gas Law: Density

PV = NRT
PV = mass/(mw)RT

mass/V = P (MW)/RT = density



Molar Mass:
Ideal Gas Law PV = NRT
PV = mass/(MW) RT
MW = mass * RT/PV


Measures of Gases:
Daltons Law of Partial Pressures; is the total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

Total = P_ A + P_ B

P_ A V = n_ A RT

P_ B V = n_ B R T



Partial Pressures in Gas Mixtures:
P_ total = P_ A + P_ B
P_ A = n_ A RT/V P_ B = n_ B RTV

P_ total = P_ A + P_ B = n_ total RT/V




For Ideal Gasses:


P_ A = n_ A RT/V P_ total = n_ toatal RT/V



P_ A/P_ total = n_ A RTV/n_ total RTV


= n_ A/n_ total = X_ A





Therefore, P_ A = X_ A P_ total.



PV = nRT


P pressure

V volume


n Number of moles


R Gas Constant


T temperture (Kelvin.).







Hope that helps!!!!!! Have a great day : )

A 60kg skateboarder starts up a 20° slope at 5m/s then falls and slides up the hill on his knee pads. The coefficient of kinetic
klasskru [66]
2.0 meters  The skateboarder has 2 forces acting upon him to slow him down. The forces are friction, and climbing against the gravitational acceleration. So let's calculate the magnitude of these forces to see how fast he's decelerated.  The coefficient of kinetic friction is a multiplier to use against the normal force of the object. We can calculate the normal force by multiplying the mass of the object by the local gravitational acceleration and the cosine of the angle. So Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(20°) * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.939692621 * 0.30 Df = 165.7617783 kg*m/s^2 Df = 165.7617783 N  
The second amount of force is that caused by gravitational acceleration while climbing. That is determine by the amount of height gained for every meter along the slope. We can calculate that using the sine of the angle. So 
Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * sin(20°)
 Dg = 60 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 0.342020143
 Dg = 201.1078443 kg*m/s^2
 Dg = 201.1078443 N
 
 So the amount of force decelerating the skateboarder is:
 F = Df + Dg
 F = 165.7617783 N + 201.1078443 N
 F = 366.8696226 N
 
 Now let's determine how much kinetic energy needs to be dissipated. The equation is
 E = 0.5 MV^2 
 So we'll substitute the known values and calculate
 E = 0.5 MV^2
 E = 0.5* 60 kg * (5 m/s)^2
 E = 0.5* 60 kg * 25 m^2/s^2
 E = 750 kg*m^2/s^2
 E = 750 J 
 Now let's divide the energy by the force.
 750 kg*m^2/s^2 / 366.8696226 kg*m/s^2 = 2.04432298 m
  Rounding to 2 significant figures gives a distance of 2.0 meters.
