Answer:

Explanation:

The box is at rest because , the component of weight along the surface downwards is equal to frictional force .

frictional force = mgsinθ

= 20 x 9.8 sin 30

= 98 N .

The collision between a hammer and a nail can be considered to be approximately elastic. estimate the kinetic energy acquired by

Setler [38]

Here we can use momentum conservation as in this type of collision there is no external force on it

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

now here we can say

$m_1 = 10 g$

$v_{1i} = 0$

$m_2 = 550 g$

$v_{2i} = 3.5 m/s$

now here we can say

$10*0 + 550 * 3.5 = 10 v_{1f} + 550 v_{2f}$

$192.5 = v_{1f} + 55 v_{2f}$

now by coefficient of restitution

for elastic collision we know that e = 1

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})$

$v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0 - 3.5$

now by solving the two equation

$56v_{2f} = 189$

$v_{2f} = 3.375 m/s$

also we know that

$v_{1f} = v_{2f} + 3.5 = 3.375 + 3.5 = 6.875 m/s$

so final speed of the nail is 6.875 m/s

You watch a distant lady driving nails into her front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound of the

Igoryamba

Answer:

λ = 1360 m

Explanation:

Given data:

frequency of driving nails is given as 1 stroke per second mean at every 0.25 sec she hit the nails

speed of sound is given as 340 m/s

we know that the wave equation is given as

Speed = frequency × wavelength,

v = f × λ

where,

v = speed in meters/second (m/s)

f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)

substituing value to get wavelength of her driving nails

$340 m/s = (1Hz)\times \lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{340}{0.25}$

λ = 1360 m
