A toy gun uses a spring to project a 6.4 g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 9.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu

n is 12.4 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.028 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.0 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 12.4 cm.)

Answer:

1.584 m/s.

Explanation:

Using,

Ek= Ws-Wf...................... Equation 1

Where Wf = work done against friction, Ek = kinetic energy of the rubber, Ws = work done by the spring.

1/2mv² = 1/2ke²-F'd................ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the rubber, v = velocity of the rubber, k = force constant of the spring, e = compression, F' = force of friction, d = distance/ length of contact.

make v the subject of the equation

v = √[2(1/2ke²-F'd)/m].................... Equation 3

Given: k = 9 N/m. e = 5 cm = 0.05 m, F' = 0.028 N, d = 12.4 cm = 0.124 m, m = 6.4 g = 0.0064 kg

Substitute into equation 3

v = √[2(1/2×9×0.05²-0.026×0.124)/0.0064]

v = √(2[0.01125-0.003224]/0.0064)

v = √2.508125

v = 1.584 m/s.

Calculate the orbital period for Jupiter's moon Io, which orbits 4.22×10^5km from the planet's center (M=1.9×10^27kg) .
Verdich [7]

According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law of Planetary motion</u> “<em>The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.</em>



In other words, this law states a relation between the orbital period T of a body (moon, planet, satellite) orbiting a greater body in space with the size a of its orbit.



This Law is originally expressed as follows:



<h2>T^{2} =\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}    (1) </h2>

Where;


G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}



M=1.9(10^{27})kg is the mass of Jupiter


a=4.22(10^{5})km=4.22(10^{8})m  is the semimajor axis of the orbit Io describes around Jupiter (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)



If we want to find the period, we have to express equation (1) as written below and substitute all the values:



<h2>T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}}    (2) </h2>

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi^{2}}{6.674(10^{-11})\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}1.9(10^{27})kg}(4.22(10^{8})m)^{3}}    



T=\sqrt{\frac{2.966(10^{27})m^{3}}{1.268(10^{17})m^{3}/s^{2}}}    



T=\sqrt{2.339(10^{10})s^{2}}    



Then:


<h2>T=152938.0934s    (3) </h2>

Which is the same as:



<h2>T=42.482h     </h2>

Therefore, the answer is:



The orbital period of Io is 42.482 h

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.

katrin [286]

Answer:

a = 0.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Force equation: F = ma

F = ma -> a = F/m = 2.8*10^3 N / 3.5*10^3 kg = 0.8 m/s^2
