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).

What is the velocity of a 30-kg box with a kinetic energy of 6,000 J? 64 m/s

Nikolay [14]

Answer: 20 m/s

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the expression of the kinetic energy given by:

Ekinetic=(1/2)*(m*v^2)

then E=0.5*30Kg*(20 m/s)^2=15*400=6000J

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.81 mand the mass of the particle (the "bob") at the end of the cable is0.23 kg. The pendulu

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

$M=0.0182\ J$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).

(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.81}}$

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as

$U=mgh$

where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that

$H+Y=L$

And

$H=L\ cos\alpha$

Solving for Y

$Y=L(1-cos\alpha )$

$Since\ \alpha=8.1^o, L=0.81\ m$

$Y=0.0081\ m$

The potential energy is

$U=mgh=0.23\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2)(0.0081\ m)$

$U=0.0182\ J$

The mechanical energy is, then

$M=K+U=0+U=U$

$M=0.0182\ J$

(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)

$\displaystyle \frac{mv^2}{2}=0.0182$

Solving for v

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.0182)}{0.23}}$

$v=0.398\ m/s$
