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

Which of these factors will increase the speed of a sound wave in air?
Artemon [7]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

-Temperature

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Sound is a type of mechanical wave, which means it requires a material medium for transmission. It results from the vibration of particles.
  • The speed of sound in mediums varies depending on the property of the medium and a number of other factors which includes; temperature, pressure,  and humidity.
  • Temperature increases the speed of sound wave as particles at higher temperatures tend to possess more energy and thus they will vibrate faster and thus the sound wave will travel faster.
