Science literacy is important because it provides a context for addressing societal problems, and because a science- literate populace can better cope with many of its prob- lems and make intelligent and informed decisions that will affect the quality of their lives and those of their children

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

$KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}$

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}$

$v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}$

$v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}$

$v=\sqrt{5}$

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

A ball is dropped from 8.5 meters above the ground. If it begins at rest, how long does it take to hit the ground?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 8.5 meters

vi = 0

a = 9.81

t = ?

Formula

d = vi * t + 1/2 a t^2

Solution

8.5 = 0 + 1/2 9.81 * t^2 multiply both sides by 2

8.5 = 4.095 t^2 Divide both sides by 4.095

8.5/4.095 = t^2

1.7329 = t^2 Take the square root of both sides

t = 1.316

It takes 1.316 seconds to hit the ground.
