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

A 2.5 kg block is launched along the ground by a spring with a spring constant of 56 N/m. The spring is initially compressed 0.7
Norma-Jean [14]

vf ^2 = kx^2/m = 56(0.75)^2 / 2.5 = 12.6


Therefore, v= 3.5 m/s.

Identify the law, write the equation and calculate the answer to the problem below.
lyudmila [28]

Find refractive index first

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75

Now

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}

How many joules of work are done against a truck when a force of 50 N pushes it 1 kilometer away
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Work = 50,000 J

Explanation:

Work = force * distance

Given that,

  • force = 50N
  • Distance = 1km = 1000m

Work = 50 * 1000

Work = 50,000 J

You have 2 objects flying towards you. One of them is havier with lower velocity and the other one is lighter but has higher vel
Lerok [7]

Answer: I would say the object with the Lower velocity because Lighter with Higher velocity makes it heavy, velocity is how heavy something is so the lighter it is the less difficult it will be to catch.
