A worker drives a 0.562 kg spike into a rail tie with a 2.26 kg sledgehammer. The hammer hits the spike with a speed of 64.4 m/s

. If one third of the hammer’s kinetic energy is converted to the internal energy of the hammer and spike, how much does the total internal energy increase? Answer in units of J

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of sledge hammer;

Mh =2.26 kg

Hammer speed;

Vh = 64.4 m/s

The expression fot the kinetic energy of the hammer is,

K.E(hammer) = ½Mh•Vh²

K.E(hammer) = ½ × 2.26 × 64.4²

K.E ( hammer) = 4686.52 J

If one forth of the kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, then

ΔU = ¼ × K.E(hammer)

∆U = ¼ × 4686.52

∆U = 1171.63 J

Thus, the increase in total internal energy will be 1171.63 J.

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

$\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$ ......(1)

Here $\lambda_{s}$ is source wavelength, $\lambda_{o}$ is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, $\lambda_{s}$ = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, $\lambda_{0}$ = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

$555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }$

$\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84$

${\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056$

$1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}$

$\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}$

$v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}$

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3 × 106 n/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from

Lera25 [3.4K]

Electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}$

here area of plates of capacitor is given as

$A = 0.055 * 0.055$

$A = 3.025 * 10^{-3}$

also the maximum field strength is given as

$E = 3 * 10^6 N/C$

now we will plug in all data to find the maximum possible charge on capacitor plates

$3 * 10^6 = \frac{Q}{3.025 * 10^{-3}*8.85 * 10^{-12}}$

$Q = 8.03 * 10^{-8} C$

so the maximum charge that plate will hold will be given by above

An object of mass kg is released from rest m above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming the f

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Explanation:

From, the given information: we are not given any value for the mass, the proportionality constant and the distance

Assuming that:

the mass = 5 kg and the proportionality constant = 50 kg

the distance of the mass above the ground x(t) = 1000 m

Let's recall that:

$v(t) = \dfrac{mg}{b}+ (v_o - \dfrac{mg}{b})^e^{-bt/m}$

Similarly, The equation of mption:

$x(t) = \dfrac{mg}{b}t+\dfrac{m}{b} (v_o - \dfrac{mg}{b}) (1-e^{-bt/m})$

replacing our assumed values:

where $v_=0 \ and \ g= 9.81$

$x(t) = \dfrac{5 \times 9.81}{50}t+\dfrac{5}{50} (0 - \dfrac{(5)(9.81)}{50}) (1-e^{-(50)t/5})$

$x(t) = 0.981t+0.1 (0 - 0.981) (1-e^{-(10)t}) \ m$

$\mathbf{x(t) = 0.981t-0.981(1-e^{-(10)t}) \ m}$

So, when the object hits the ground when x(t) = 1000

Then from above derived equation:

$\mathbf{x(t) = 0.981t-0.981(1-e^{-(10)t}) \ m}$

$1000= 0.981t-0.981(1-e^{-(10)t}) \ m$

By diregarding $e^{-(10)t} \ m$

$1000= 0.981t-0.981$

1000 + 0.981 = 0.981 t

1000.981 = 0.981 t

t = 1000.981/0.981

t = 1020.36 sec
