A 0.71 kg spike is hammered into a railroad tie. The initial speed of the spike is equal to 3.8 m/s. If the tie and spike togeth

er absorb 38.2 percent of the spike’s initial kinetic energy as internal energy, calculate the increase in internal energy of the tie and spike. Answer in units of J.

Answer:

1.96 J

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

ΔU + ΔK = 0  where ΔU = internal energy change and ΔK = kinetic energy change. We neglect potential energy change since we are not given any information about it.

ΔU = -ΔK

ΔK = K₂ - K₁ where  K₁ = initial kinetic energy and K₂ = final kinetic energy = 0 where  ΔU = 0.382K₁

     = 0.382mv²/2  where m = mass of spike = 0.71 kg and v = initial speed of spike = 3.8 m/s

     = 0.382 × 0.71 kg × (3.8 m/s)²/2

     = 1.96 J

What is the photosynthes?
Westkost [7]
<em>It is the process in which green plants make their food through a green pigment known as Chlorophyll by using sunlight, Carbon-dioxide and water</em>.  <em>The result comes out with the formation of Oxygen as a byproduct. But in night they also respire like animals and photosynthesis does not occur. Photo means light and synthesis means manufacture.</em>

Use newton's third law to explain why a blown up balloon but untied balloon will fly around the room when you let it go? really
sergij07 [2.7K]
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you let go of the ballon, you are letting the force out but the force also pushes the balloon back.
