Answer: x ≈ 36.3 cm

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum during the collision

0.0340(120) + 1.24(0) = (0.0340 + 1.24) v

v = 3.2025 m/s

The kinetic energy of the block/bullet mass will convert to spring potential

½kx² = ½mv²

x = √(mv²/k)

x = √(1.274(3.2025²) / 99.0)

x = 0.363293... ≈ 36.3 cm

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).

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f

olga2289 [7]

The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

1 / (5 per second) = 0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period. But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

= (5 per second) x (1cm) = 5 cm per second

(1) In nondestructive testing, a discontinuity may be defined as an interruption in the normal physical structure or configurati

QveST [7]

Answer: BOTH ARE TRUE

Explanation: Nondestructive testing or Evaluation is a term used in the field of science and technology to describe the evaluations, analysis or testing carried out on components of materials without destroying any part or components of the test materials. It is very useful in scientific research or industrial engineering environments. When any disruption of physical structure or configuration of a component will lead to discontinuing of the test, and it may not affect the usefulness of the affected parts.
