Describe the types of energy generated when you hit a nail with a hammer?
when you raise the hammer at the top of your upswing the hammer has potential energy when you lower the hammer to hit a nail , the hammer has potential energy.
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?
The kinetic energy transfers from the hammer to the nail. The molecules inside the nail move rapidly and create heat.
Is a hammer held above a nail kinetic energy?
No, the word 'Kinetic' literally means moving. So Kinetic energy literally means moving energy. If your hammer is above a nail then it is not moving... and so it is not kinetic energy.
When swinging a hammer the end of the hammer gains speed and?
Makes kinetic energy.
If a hammer was hitting a nail what kind of force is it?
It is kinetic energy.
What is the energy conversion of a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank?
joule
What kind of energy does a hammer have right before it hits a nail?
Kinetic and potential.
Why nail becomes warm when hammered into a plank?
The nail becomes warm because excess energy has nowhere to go, and is converted to thermal energy. Part of the energy is used up in driving through the plank, part is used in making a sound, part is used in recoiling back at the hammer, which also gets warm, and part is lost to kinetic energy transferred to thermal energy.
Does a copper wire produce heat energy when it is pounded several times by a hammer?
Yes. Well, No. It actually converts some of the kinetic energy of the hammer blows into heat energy.
john lifts a hammer and strikes a nail into a plank. Which of the following energy conversion take place?
bat
A piece of lead is repeatedly hit with a hammer does its internal energy increase?
yes, the hammer initiates addition atom oscillations in lead, so their kinetic energy increases.
How does Kinetic energy transformed into kinetic energy?
Potential energy is sometimes called the energy of position. This means that it has the ability (potential) to become kinetic energy. A bowling ball that is held over your head has potential energy. As soon as it is dropped and begins moving, the potential energy begins transforming into kinetic energy.
