The weight of the heavier player bakes it a lot harder to push him or do work because of the net force gravity<span />

Gravity works harder on a heavier person therefor it would be harder to move them because of their force to the ground

A nail driven into a board increases in temperature.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

ΔT = 40.91 °C

Explanation:

First we find the kinetic energy of one hit to the nail:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

K.E = Kinetic energy = ?

m = mass of hammer = 1.6 kg

v = speed of hammer = 7.7 m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 kg)(7.7 m/s)²

K.E = 47.432 J

Now, for 10 hits:

K.E = (10)(47.432 J)

K.E = 474.32 J

Now, we calculate the heat energy transferred (Q) to the nail. As, it is the 59% of K.E. Therefore,

Q = (0.59)K.E

Q = (0.59)(474.32 J)

Q = 279.84 J

The change in energy of nail is given as:

Q = mCΔT

where,

m = mass of nail = 7.6 g = 0.0076 kg

C = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 900 J/kg.°C

ΔT = Increase in temperature = ?

Therefore,

279.84 J = (0.0076 kg)(900 J/kg.°C)ΔT

ΔT = (279.84 J)/(6.84 J/°C)

<u>ΔT = 40.91 °C</u>

What is the connection between our sense of hearing and our balance?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

When the head moves, fluid within the labyrinth moves and stimulates nerve endings that send impulses along the balance nerve to the brain. Those impulses are sent to the brain in equal amounts from both the right and left inner ear.
