In the interaction between a hammer and the nail it hits, is a force exerted on the nail? On the hammer? How many forces occur i

n this interaction?

Vikki [24]3 years ago

When you hit a hammer on the head of a nail, all the momentum associated with hammer is transferred into nail. And due to this, the surface of nail gets deformed or if you touch it you can feel the rise in temperature. When you hit a hammer on nail, hammer exerts force on nail and by Newton's 3rd law, nail will also exert a force on the hammer perpendicular to the surface of the hammer of same magnitude but its direction will be reversed. Thus, only 2 forces acts in this interaction and they are action-reaction pairs.

Two forces are acting on a 2.0 kg object that moves with acceleration 6.0 m/s2 in the positive y-direction. If one of the forces
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

12N

Explanation:

We are given that one of the forces are acting only in the horizontal x-direction. As a force must be applied on an object of mass in order to cause acceleration, the 6.0ms^-2 acceleration is due to the non-horizontal force acting on the 2.0kg object.

Using Newton's Second Law of motion; we know that for a constant mass, force is equal to mass times acceleration, F=ma.

Assuming the other force is acting only in the vertical direction (question doesn't specify, thus we are finding the minimum force to cause this acceleration):

F= 2.0kg * 6.0ms^-2

F=12.0 kgms^-2

F=12 N

In the Balmer series, how many spectral lines have the wavelength greater than 400 nm?
Irina18 [472]

<span>The Balmer series or Balmer lines in atomic physics, is the designation of one of a set of six named series describing the spectral line emissions of the hydrogen atom. The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. this is all I know sorry</span>

Is everyone in your class able to hear a quiet sound equally well?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Loudness describes how people perceive sound (see loudness). ... If people could hear equally well at all frequencies, the contour lines would be flat because the same measured sound intensity would be perceived to be equally loud regardless of the sound frequency. In fact, people do not hear as well at low frequencies.
