Answer:
Mechanics is the branch of physics which deals with the motion of objects its causes and effects.
Sub branches
kinematics(deals with motion of objects without studying the cause of its motion)
dynamic(deals with the motion and cause of motion of objects)
Explanation:
Answer:
72 joules
Explanation:
The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.
since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)
therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy
mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.
Answer: 20.2 m/s
Explanation:
From the question above, we have the following data;
M1 = 800kg
M2 = 1200kg
V1 = 13m/s
V2 = 25m/s
U (common velocity) =?
M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U
(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U
10400 + 30000 = 2000u
40400 = 2000u
U = 40400 / 2000
U = 20.2 m/s
Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.
