A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed int

o elastic potential energy of the bending board; if the board bends far enough, it breaks. Applying a force to the center of a particular pine board deflects the center of the board by a distance that increases in proportion to the force. Ultimately the board breaks at an applied force of 870 N and a deflection of 1.4 cm.
a. To break the board with a blow from the hand, how fast must the hand be moving? Use 0.50 kg for the mass of the hand.
b. If the hand is moving this fast and comes to rest in a distance of 1.2 cm, what is the average force on the hand?

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Lana71 [14]

<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>

A 0.750kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 13.5N/m . While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wit

vazorg [7]

Answer:

A)A=0.075 m

B)v= 0.21 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m = 0.75 kg

K= 13.5 N

The natural frequency of the block given as

$\omega =\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}$

The maximum speed v given as

$v=\omega A$

A=Amplitude

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times A$

$0.32=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times A$

A=0.075 m

A= 0.75 cm

The speed at distance x

$v=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{K}{m}}\times \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{13.5}{0.75}}\times \sqrt{0.075^2-(0.075\times 0.75)^2}$

v= 0.21 m/s

Answer:

The solution set of a disjunction is the union of the solution sets of the individual inequalities. A convenient way to graph a disjunction is to graph each individual inequality above the number line, then move them both onto the actual number line

1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen

Klio2033 [76]

The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.

The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.

The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .
