A worker drives a spike into a rail tie with a 2.00-kg sledgehammer. This caused the internal energy of the hammer and spike to

increase by 1,250 Joules. If one half of the hammer’s kinetic energy is converted into the internal energy of the hammer and spike, what was the hammer’s speed when it hit the spike? In your computations, for the mass, use the mass of the hammer only.

Answer:

50 m/s

Explanation:

half of the hammer’s kinetic energy = internal energy of the hammer and spike

½ (½ mv²) = U

v² = 4U/m

v² = 4 (1250 J) / (2.00 kg)

v = 50 m/s

An electron and a proton are each accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. Afterward, which particle has t
Lena [83]

Explanation:

The De-Broglie wavelength in terms of potential difference is given by:

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV} }

Where,

h is Planck's constant

m is mass of charged particle

V is potential difference

e is the amount of charge

It means that the De-Broglie wavelength is inversely proportional to the mass.

Since, the mass of the proton is more than the mass of the electron. So, the De- Broglie wavelength of the electron is larger than proton.

Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,
snow_lady [41]
The capacitor is used to store electric charge.That is what makes capacitors special. <span>
The charge that flows into the capacitor is stored on the plate of the capacitor that the source voltage is connected to. </span>When current flows into a capacitor, the charges get “stuck” on the plates because they can’t get past the insulating dielectric. One plate is positively charged and the other negatively <span>The stationary charges on these plates create an </span>electric field. <span>When charges group together on a capacitor like this, the cap is storing electric energy just as a battery might store chemical energy.</span>
