d 400 m

Which describes increasing the efficiency of energy resource

During the apollo moon missions, astronauts were concerned about the effects of newton's third law of motion when: o a. they ejected waste water, because they were concerned that it would push them off course. o b. they reentered earth's atmosphere, because they were carrying heavy moon rocks. o c. they took off from earth, because a large force was required to generate large acceleration. o d. they detected incoming space debris, because the inertia of the debris could damage their ship.

Acarpenter 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 of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail and does not flow out of the nail. what is the increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows that the carpenter needs to drive the nail in completely? the specific heat of steel is 448 j/kg ∙ k. a) 2.7 k b) 1.8 k c) 7.7 k d) 8.1 k e) 3.6 k
