Physics

Answer:

She can swing 1.0 m high.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).

The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

And the potential energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of Jane.

v = velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

h = height.

Then:

ME = KE + PE

Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:

ME = KE + PE      (PE = 0)

ME = KE

ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²

ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²

When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:

ME = KE + PE      (KE = 0)

ME = PE

ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h

Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:

m · 10.125 m²/s² =  m · 9.8 m/s² · h

10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s²  = h

h = 1.0 m

She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).

C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.9-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Stored energy in spring = 1/2 k x² , k is spring constant , x is compression.

= 1/2 x 8 x (5.7 x 10⁻²)²

= 129.96 x 10⁻⁴ J

Energy lost due to friction = force x distance

= .035 x .17

= .00595 J

Energy used in providing kinetic energy to projectile.  

129.96 x 10⁻⁴  - .00595

.012996 - .00595

= .007046 J

So

1/2 m v² = .007046

v² = .007046  x 2 / .0059

= 2.3885

v = 1.545 m /s
