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

Reasons<br> why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.  
olganol [36]
A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate
electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using
mirrors.  They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are
those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that
they have succeeded in that attempt.

The gravity of Neptune is about 1.1 times the gravity of earth. How will the mass of an object on Neptune compare with its mass
Roman55 [17]
I think the gravity doesn't affect the mass of an object. Only it's weight can be compared

7. A 1000 kg car is rolling down the street at 2.5 m/s. How fast would a 2500 kg car have to
babunello [35]

1 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question we use the following formula:

momentum = mass × velocity

momentum of the first car = 1000 kg × 2.5 m/s

momentum of the second car = 2500 kg × X m/s

To bring the cars at rest the momentum of the first car have to be equal to the momentul of the second car.

momentum of the first car = momentum of the second car

1000 kg × 25 m/s = 2500 kg × X m/s

X (velocity of the second car) = (1000 × 25) / 2500 = 1 m/s
