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

What is the pendulum length whose period is 2.0s ?

Mashutka [201]

$Formula\ for\ period:\\\ T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\\\ g-gravity=9,8 \frac{m}{s^2} ,\ L-pendulum \ length \\\\ \frac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }|square\\\\ \frac{T^2}{2 \pi } = \frac{L}{g} \\\\\ \frac{T^2}{2 \pi }*g=L\\\\ L= \frac{2^2}{2*3,14 }*9,8= \frac{39,2}{6,28} =6,24m$ $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\
 \frac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }|square\\
 \frac{T^2}{2 \pi } = \frac{L}{g} \\
 \frac{T^2}{2 \pi }*g=L\\
L= \frac{2^2}{2*3,14 }*9,8= \frac{39,2}{6,28} =6,24m

Choose the scenario in which the sound frequency of the waves is higher.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Explanation:

The Dopper Effect is a phenomenon that occur when there is relative motion between an observer and a source of a wave. When this situation occurs, there is an apparent shift in frequency of the wave, as observed by the observer.

The apparent frequency observed by the observer is given by

$f'=\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_s}f$

where

f is the original frequency of the wave

f' is the apparent frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if moving towards the source of the wave, negative otherwise)

$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (negative if moving towards from the observer, positive otherwise)

In this problem, we want to find the scenario in which the sound frequency is higher.

We see that in all 4 scenarios, the sound source is moving: this means we have to find the scenario in which the denominator of the equation is smaller.

First of all, we notice the sound source moves towards the observer, $v_s$ is negative, so the denominator is higher: this means that the correct option must be either A or B.

Also, we notice that since $v_s$ is negative, a value larger in magnitude will mean a smaller denominator: therefore, the correct answer will be

B) the sound source moves towards you at 100 m/sec

Since this situation will make the denominator of the formula the smallest possible.

A flywheel with a radius of 0.300 m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2. Compu

boyakko [2]

Answer:

0.42 m/s²

Explanation:

r = radius of the flywheel = 0.300 m

w₀ = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

w = final angular speed = ?

θ = angular displacement = 60 deg = 1.05 rad

α = angular acceleration = 0.6 rad/s²

Using the equation

w² = w₀² + 2 α θ

w² = 0² + 2 (0.6) (1.05)

w = 1.12 rad/s

Tangential acceleration is given as

$a_{t}$ = r α = (0.300) (0.6) = 0.18 m/s²

Radial acceleration is given as

$a_{r}$ = r w² = (0.300) (1.12)² = 0.38 m/s²

Magnitude of resultant acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_{t}^{2} + a_{r}^{2}}$

$a = \sqrt{0.18^{2} + 0.38^{2}}$

$a$ = 0.42 m/s²

When an average force F is exerted over a certain distance on a shopping cart of mass m, its kinetic energy increases by 1/2 mv2

agasfer [191]

W work
F force
s distance

If F = constant:

W₁ = F·s

If you triple the force and the distance:

W₂ = 3F · 3s = 9 F·s = 9 W₁
