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

An incompressible fluid flows steadily through a pipe that has a change in diameter. The fluid speed at a location where the pip

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The value is $v_2 = 5.53 \ m /s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The pipe diameter at location 1 is $d = 8.8 \ cm = \frac{8.8 }{10} = 0.88 \ m$

The velocity at location 1 is $v_1 = 2.4 \ m /s$

The diameter at location 2 is $d_2 = 5.80 \ cm = 0.58 \ m$

Generally the area at location 1 is

$A_1 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_1 = \pi * \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_1 = 3.142 * \frac{0.88^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_1 = 1.2166 \ m^2$

Generally the area at location 1 is

$A_2 = \pi * \frac{d_1^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_2 = \pi * \frac{0.58^2}{ 2}$

=> $A_2 = 0.528 \ m^2$

Generally from continuity equation we have that

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

=> $1.2166 * 2.4 = 0.528 * v_2$

=> $1.2166 * 2.4 = 0.528 * v_2$

=> $v_2 = 5.53 \ m /s$

A skydiver is falling at constant velocity. If a force of 600 N is pulling down on the skydiver, how much force must be acting u

skelet666 [1.2K]

Well, if the skydiver is at constant velocity, than there’s no acceleration, as stated by Newton’s first law. Thus the total net force would equate to 0. In order to make this statement true, the answer would have to be exactly 600 N.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION

Ipatiy [6.2K]

k = $\dfrac{ (\dfrac{h}{ \lambda} )^{2} }{2m}$

k = (6.626×10-¹⁹/590 × 10-⁹ )^{2} /2 × 1.673 × 10-²⁷

k = (1.12 × 10-³⁰)^2/3.346×10-²⁷

k = 1.25 × 10-⁶⁰ /3.346×10-²⁷

k = 0

ldk why, my answer is coming this :(
