A rifle fires a 2.90 x 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the

trigger is pulled. The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 8.37 x 10-2 m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 7.23 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

Answer: 587.14 N/m

Explanation:

E(f) = E(0) such that

0.5mv(f)² + 0.5Iw(f)² + mgh(f) + 0.5ky(f)² =

0.5mv(0) + 0.5Iw(0)² + mgh(0) + 0.5ky(0)²

since the pellets does not rotate, then the angular speeds are zero, so, w(f) and w(0) = 0

Since the pellet is at rest, and sits on the Spring, the translational speed, v(0) and v(f) are zero too.

Since the Spring is not strained when it reaches maximum height, y(f) = 0, so that

mgh(f) = mgh(0) + 0.5ky(0)²

[mgh(f) - mgh(0)] / y² = 0.5k

mg[h(f) - h(0)] / y² =0.5k

(2.9*10^-2 * 9.8 * 7.23) / (8.37*10^-2)² = 0.5k

2.055 / 7*10^-3 = 0.5k

0.5k = 293.571

k = 293.571/0.5

k = 587.14 N/m

Answer: 586.60N/m

Explanation:

In this scenario, the elastic potential energy of the spring is converted into potential energy.

0.5*K*x^2 = mgh

Thus K = 2mgh/x^2

=(2*2.90*10^-2*9.8*7.23)/(8.37*10^-2)^2

=586.599

Therefore K = 586.60N/m

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a) fr = 224.3 N , b) fr = 224.3 N , c) v = 198.0 m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

fr = m a

fr = 97 2,312

fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

v² = v₀² - 2 a y

a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

a = 2,304 m / s²

fr = m a

fr = 97 2,304

fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

v = 198.0 m/s

Toy car in a science experiment covers 1.6 meters in half a second. If a the car travels at a steady speed, how far will it go i

Tanzania [10]

The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
$v= \frac{d}{t}$ ⇒ $d=v*t$

It is given:
$v = \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s} = 3.2 m/s$
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
$d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m$

The number of confirmed exoplanets is (a) less than 10; (b) roughly 50; (c) more than 500; (d) more than 5000.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

(c) more than 500

Explanation:

Until 2019, more than 3000 planetary systems have been discovered that contain more than 4000 exoplanets, since some of these systems contain multiple planets. Most known extrasolar planets are gas giants equal to or more massive than the planet Jupiter, with orbits very close to its star.

How much money would be saved by turning off one 100.0-W lightbulb 3.0 h/day for 365 days if the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

the money that would be saved is $13.14.

Explanation:

Given;

power consumed by the light bulb, P = 100 W = 0.1 kW

time of running the bulb, t = 3 hours for 365 days = 1,095 hours

cost rate of power consumption, C = $0.12 per kWh

Energy consumed by the light bulb for the given days;

E = Pt

E = 0.1 kW x 1,095 hr

E = 109.5 kWh

Cost of energy consumed = 109.5 kWh x $0.12 / kWh

= $13.14

Therefore, the money that would be saved is $13.14.
