Explanation:
∆x=300 m×2
∆t=1.5 s
v=∆x/∆t → v=2×300/1.5 = 400 m/s
When a liquid or a gas is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, so it rises, while the cooler, denser liquid or gas sinks. (Not sure if this helps but this is what I hit)
Answer:
196J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of skateboard = 1kg
Height off the ground = 20m
Unknown:
Potential energy = ?
Solution:
The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body above the ground.
It is mathematically expressed as:
Potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height
Potential energy = 1 x 9.8 x 20 = 196J
Answer:
The impulse transferred to the nail is 0.01 kg*m/s.
Explanation:
The impulse (J) transferred to the nail can be found using the following equation:

Where:
: is the final momentum
: is the initial momentum
The initial momentum is given by:

Where 1 is for the hammer and 2 is for the nail.
Since the hammer is moving down (in the negative direction):
And because the nail is not moving:

Now, the final momentum can be found taking into account that the hammer remains in contact with the nail during and after the blow:
Since the hammer and the nail are moving in the negative direction:
=
= -9.7 m/s
Finally, the impulse is:

Therefore, the impulse transferred to the nail is 0.01 kg*m/s.
I hope it helps you!
