In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find v_f, the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}=  0.48 m/s

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
p_i = mv_i = p_f
Rearranging the formula, we can find v_i, the velocity of the nail before the collision:
v_i =  \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s

To understand the formula for power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature. every ob
lbvjy [14]

As per Stefan - Boltzmann law we know that

1. Power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature.

2. Every object at absolute (kelvin) temperature t will radiate electromagnetic waves.

3. This radiation is typically in the infrared for objects at room temperature, with some visible light emitted for objects heated above 1000 k.

4. The formula governing the rate of energy radiation from a surface is given by p=eσat^4,

where p is the thermal power (also known as the heat current h).

Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on hot metalwork. Its emission in the infrared is invisible to the human eye. Infrared cameras are capable of capturing this infrared emission.

Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation. Particle motion results in charge-acceleration or dipole oscillation which produce electromagnetic radiation.

Examples of thermal radiation include the visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals that is detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Thermal radiation is different from thermal convection and thermal conduction—a person near a raging bonfire feels radiant heating from the fire, even if the surrounding air is very cold.

Sunlight is part of thermal radiation generated by the hot plasma of the Sun. The Earth also emits thermal radiation, but at a much lower intensity and different spectral distribution. The Earth's absorption of solar radiation, followed by its outgoing thermal radiation, are the two most important processes that determine the temperature and climate of the Earth in most climate models.

So the correct answer which is applicable here will be

This formula applies to any object of total surface area a, kelvin temperature t, and emissivity e

The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kg. Suppose this watermelon were exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the gr
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: height = 3.98m

Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae

p = mgh

p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J

m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h

h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8

h = 4610/ 1156.4

h = 3.98m

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m and the centripetal force is 12 N. Does the centripetal force do any
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Work done is 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m, r = 18 m

Centripetal force, F = 12 N

In the circular path, the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion of the object. Thus it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the force and displacement. Hence, we can say that the centripetal force does not do any work on the toy when it follows its orbit for one cycle.
