A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature =\Delta T

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

Q=mc\Delta T

54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T

\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1  Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

The change in momentum of an object is equal to the ____________ that acts on it.
meriva

Answer : The change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

Explanation :

Change in momentum : The change in momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the change in velocity of an object.

The formula of change in momentum is,

\Delta p=m\times \Delta v

Impulse : An impulse of an object is the product of the force applied on an object and the change in time. Impulse is also equivalent to the change in momentum of  an object.

J=F\times \Delta t

Proof :

J=F\times \Delta t\\\\J=(m\times a)\times \Delta t\\\\J=m\times (a\times \Delta t)\\\\J=m\times \Delta v=\Delta p

Hence, the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse that acts on it.

How high up is a 5kg object that has 300j of energy
Eddi Din [679]

-- If the object is moving with speed of 10.954 meters per second, then
it has 300J of kinetic energy no matter where it may be located.

-- If the object is 6.118 meters above somewhere, then it has 300J of
gravitational potential energy relative to that place.

You have a two-wheel trailer that you pull behind your ATV. Two children with a combined mass of 77.2 kg hop on board for a ride
lions [1.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of motion and Hook's law.

By Hook's law we know that force is defined as,

F= kx

Where,

k = spring constant

x = Displacement change

PART A) For the case of the spring constant we can use the above equation and clear k so that

k= \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{77.2*9.8}{0.0637}

k = 11876.92N/m

Therefore the spring constant for each one is 11876.92/2 = 5933.46N/m

PART B) In the case of speed we can obtain it through the period, which is given by

T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}

Re-arrange to find \omega,

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{2.14}

\omega = 2.93rad/s

Then through angular kinematic equations where angular velocity is given as a function of mass and spring constant we have to

\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m}

m = \frac{k}{\omega^2}

m = \frac{ 11876.92}{2.93}

m = 4093.55Kg

Therefore the mass of the trailer is 4093.55Kg

PART C) The frequency by definition is inversely to the period therefore

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{2.14}

f = 0.4672 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the oscillation is 0.4672 Hz

PART D) The time it takes to make the route 10 times would be 10 times the period, that is

t_T = 10*T

t_T = 10 *2.14s

t_T = 21.4s

Therefore the total time it takes for the trailer to bounce up and down 10 times is 21.4s

wildlife biologists are working to save some unique birds in the forest of north georgia.which of these questions must be answer
Maru [420]
Extinct<span> might be a word you associate with animals that lived long ago, like the dinosaurs, but did you know that over 18,000 species are classified as "threatened" (susceptible to extinction) today? Scientists involved in wildlife conservation have a tough job; they are in charge of determining what needs to be done to prevent a species from becoming extinct. Habitat, food supply, and impacts of local human populations are just a few of the factors these scientists take into account. It is a lot to keep track of for a single location, but the job becomes even harder when it is a migratory animal. In this science project, you will get a firsthand look at their job. You will access </span>real<span> data about migratory birds and use satellite images to analyze their habitats, then come up with a conservation plan to protect the species from extinction.</span>
