A spring-loaded toy dart gun is shot to a height h. The same dart is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this

time the spring is compressed twice as far before firing. How far up does the dart go this time, neglecting friction and assuming an ideal spring

Answer:

The height reached by the dart in the second shot is (4 H).

Explanation:

It is given that, a spring-loaded toy dart gun is shot to a height h. In this case, all the potential energy stored in the spring is converted to potential gravitational energy at the maximum height.

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgH........(1)

At the second shot, the spring is compressed twice as far before firing. x' = 2x

\dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2=mgh

\dfrac{1}{2}k(2x)^2=mgh.........(2)

h is the height reached by the dart in the second shot.

Dividing equation (1) and (2) as:

4=\dfrac{h}{H}

h = 4H

So, the height reached by the dart in the second shot is (4 H). Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the spring constant is K and the mass of the shot is m.

Case 1: when the compression in the spring is d.

Use the energy conservation

Elastic Potential energy of the spring = gravitational potential energy of the shot

1/2 K x d² = mgh   .... (1)

Case 2: Let the shot rises upto height h'.

1/2 K x (2d)² = mgh' .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1)

h' / h = 4

h' = 4h

Thus, the shot rises by the four times the initial height.

Why is it incorrect to say that astronauts are weightlesS in space while orbiting Earth in a space shuttle?​
Mamont248 [21]

This is because Gravity exists everywhere in the universe.

<h3>What is Gravity?</h3>

This is the force of attraction which acts on all matters in the universe. Astronauts appear weightless while in orbiting the Earth because the space shuttle and the astronauts are in free fall around it.

They fall at the same rate as the space shuttle which is why the astronauts appear weightless.

A hand lifts a block vertically upward at constant velocity. The work done by gravity on the block ____ if the system consists o
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

The radar system of a navy cruiser transmits at a wavelength of 1.4 cm, from a circular antenna with a diameter of 2.7 m. At a r
Goshia [24]

Answer:

Distance will be 49.34 m

Explanation:

We have given wavelength \lambda =1.4cm =0.014m

Diameter of the antenna d = 2.7 m

Range L = 7.8 km = 7800 m

We have to find the smallest distance hat two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects D

We know that distance is given by D=\frac{L1.22\lambda }{d}=\frac{7800\times 1.22\times 0.014}{2.7}=49.3422m

So distance D will be 49.34 m
