<span>The dark, smooth surface areas of the Moon are known as C. maria. Although they are a type of craters, they are not called that way, but rather their name is maria, because scientists who first researched this areas thought they were seas or oceans. In Latin, the word for sea is mare, and plural is maria, which is why these areas are also called that way because they resemble these waters.</span>

A 3.0 kg object is loaded into a toy spring gun, and the spring has a spring constant 750N/m. The object compresses the spring b

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of object, m = 3 kg

spring constant, K = 750 n/m

compression, x = 8 cm = 0.08 m

angle of gun, θ = 30°

(a) As the ball is launched, it has some velocity due to the compression in the spring, so it has some kinetic energy.

(b) Let v be th evelocity of ball at the tim eof launch.

by using the conservation of energy

1/2 Kx² = 1/2 mv²

750 x 0.08 x 0.08 = 3 x v²

v = 1.265 m/s

By use of the formula of maximum height

$h = \frac{v^{2}Sin^{2}\theta}{2g}$

$h = \frac{1.265^{2}Sin^{2}30}{2\times 9.8}$

h = 0.02 m

h = 2 cm

A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

v₂ = 14.2 m/s

The driver of a car travels at 90 km / h, observes some children playing on the road 50 m away, and applies the brakes, managing

Orlov [11]

Answer:

13,750 N

Yes

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = 0 m/s

t = 4 s

Find: a and Δx

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 25 m/s) / (4 s)

a = -6.25 m/s²

F = ma

F = (2200 kg) (-6.25 m/s²)

F = -13,750 N

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (0 m/s + 25 m/s) (4 s)

Δx = 50 m

A 0.25 kg skeet (clay target) is fired at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizon with a speed of 25 m/s. When it reaches the maxi

kozerog [31]

Answer:

6.51 m and 37.13 m

Explanation:

from the question we were given

mass of skeet = 0.25 kg

speed of skeet = 25 m/s

angle = 30 degrees to the horizon

mass of pellet = 15 g

speed of pellet = 2000 m/s

without being hit by the pellet, the x and y components of the skeet velocity are

Vx = 25 cos 30 = 21.65

Vy = 25 sin 30 = 12.5

now

V = U + (a x t)

where V = final velocity, U = initial velocity , a = acceleration, t = time and s = distance

-25 sin 30 = 25 sin 30 + (-9.8 x t)

-12.5 = 12.5 - 9.8 t

t = 2.55 s

also

V^2 = U^2 + 2as ( s = vertical distance and V = 0 )

0 = (25 sin 30)^2 + 2 x (-9.8) x Y

19.6 Y = 156.25

Y =7.97 m

the distance traveled without the pellet hitting the skeet can be gotten using distance = speed x time

distance = 21.65 x 2.55 = 55.2 m

applying the conservation of linear momentum

on the x axis : (Ms x Us) + (Mp x Up) = (Ms x Vx) + (Mp x Vx) ...equation 1

on the y axis : (Ms x Us) + (Mp x Up) = (Ms x Vy) + (Mp x Vy) ...equation 2

(0.25 x 25 cos 30) + 0 = (0.25 +0.015) Vx

Vx = 20.42m/s

0 + (0.015 x 200) = (0.25 + 0.015) Vy

Vy = 11.32 m/s

now V^2 = U^2 + 2 as

0 = 11.3^2 + (2 x (-9.8) x s)

s = 6.51 m

to find the extra distance moved after collision we apply

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

-7.98 = 11.32t + 1/2 (-9.8) t^2

4.9 t^2 - 11.32t + 7.98

t = 3.17 s

recall that distance = speed x time

distance = 20.42 x 3.17 = 64.73 m

the distance of the skeet before being hit would be half of the distance it travels without being hit, this is because the skeet was hit at its maximum height = 55.2 /2

= 27.6 m

therefore the extra distance traveled would be the change in distance = 64.73 -27.6 = 37.13 m
