A vertical spring gun is used to launch balls into the air. If the spring is compressed by 4.9 cm, the ball of mass 5.5 g is lau

AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

$\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}$

Putting given values, we get :

$\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm$

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Three children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is 100 kg, has a 1.60-m radius, and is spinning at 20.0 rpm. The

Kay [80]

Answer:

25.33 rpm

Explanation:

M = 100 kg

m1 = 22 kg

m2 = 28 kg

m3 = 33 kg

r = 1.60 m

f = 20 rpm

Let the new angular speed in rpm is f'.

According to the law of conservation of angular momentum, when no external torque is applied, then the angular momentum of the system remains constant.

Initial angular momentum = final angular momentum

(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m2 x r^2 + m3 x r^2) x ω =

(1/2 x M x r^2 + m1 x r^2 + m3 x r^2 ) x ω'

(1/2 M + m1 + m2 + m3) x 2 x π x f = (1/2 M + m1 + m3) x 2 x π x f'

( 1/2 x 100 + 22 + 28 + 33) x 20 = (1/2 x 100 + 22 + 33) x f'

2660 = 105 x f'

f' = 25.33 rpm

A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30.0 seconds. What is the acceleration?

fredd [130]

Answer:

$a = 0.83\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

$v_f=v_o+a.t$

Where:

vf = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a = Constant acceleration

t = Elapsed time

It's known a train moves from rest (vo=0) to a speed of vf=25 m/s in t=30 seconds. It's required to calculate the acceleration.

Solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

Substituting:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{25-0}{30}$

$\boxed{a = 0.83\ m/s^2}$
