Question

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kinetic energy is coverted to the internal energy of the hammber and nail. How much does the total internal.Energy increase

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J
