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

Two particles with oppositely signed charges nC are placed at two of the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 3
babymother [125]

The magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

<h3>Electric field at the third vertex of the triangle </h3>

The electric field at the third vertex of the equilateral triangle due to the other charges placed on the first and second vertices is calculated as follows;

E = E(13) + E(23)

E = (kq₁)/r² + (kq₂)/r²

where;

  • q1 is positive charge
  • q2 is negative charge

E =  (kq₁)/r² - (kq₂)/r²

E = 0

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

PLS ANSWER FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLY!!!! ANSWER ONLY IF YOU KNOW!!!!
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons. Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.

Based on the free-body diagram, the net force acting<br> on this firework is
Strike441 [17]

0N. The net force acting on this firework is 0.

The key to solve this problem is using the net force formula based on the diagram shown in the image. Fnet = F1 + F2.....Fn.

Based on the free-body diagram, we have:

The force of gases is Fgases = 9,452N

The force of the rocket Frocket = -9452

Then, the net force acting is:

Fnet = Fgases + Frocket

Fnet = 9,452N - 9,452N = 0N

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

A woman launches a boat from one shore of a straight river and wants to land at the point directly on the opposite shore. If the
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

If she stands on the North side of a river flowing to the East at 5 mph,

she must head towards the SouthWest to arrive on the South side of the river directly across from her starting point and we have

x^2 + 5^2 = 10^2 where x is her speed directly across the river

x = (75)^1/2 = 8.66 mph towards the South

sin theta = 5 / 10 = 1/2

She must angle the boat at 30 deg from straight South
