When you hit a nail into a board using a hammer the head of the nail gets warm in terms of kinetic and thermal energy describe why you think this happens?

What do the terms headwind and tailwind mean?

Imagine that you are up in the air, flying flat. No airplane, just you, with your arms stretched out in front of you,like Superman, flying in the direction that your fingers point. Your head is in front, your feet are in the back.A head wind is a wind that blows opposite to the direction you're moving, approaches you from the front,hits you in the head, and slows you down.A tailwind is a wind that blows in the same direction you're moving, approaches you from behind,hits you in the tail, and speeds you up.Same definitions if you're in an airplane.


Why does blood go to your head when you go upside down?

The reason why is because when the heart pumps all that blood, it has to go somewhere. So it goes through your legs and arms and stays there I guess. So when you go upside down, the blood will go down and eventually go down into your brain. That's why it isn't good for someone to stay upside down for a long period of time.

When two centrifugal pumps are connected in series the discharge changes by factor of?

Centrifugal pumps in series are used to overcome larger system head loss than one pump can handle alone.for two identical pumps in series the head will be twice the head of a single pump at the same flow rate - as indicated in point 2.With a constant flowrate the combined head moves from 1 to 2.Note! In practice the combined head and flow rate moves along the system curve to point 3.point 3 is where the system operates with both pumps runningpoint 1 is where the system operates with one pump runningSeries operation of single stage pumps is seldom encountered - more often multistage centrifugal pumps are used.http://nuclearpowertraining.tpub.com/h1012v3/css/h1012v3_76.htm
