A toy cork gun contains a spring whose spring constant is 10.0N/m. The spring is compressed 5.00cm and then used to propel a 6.0
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The muzzle velocity of this cork is 2 m/s.                                

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 10 N/m

Mass of the cork, m = 6 g = 0.006 kg

Initial position of the spring, x = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Final position of the spring, x' = 1 cm = 0.01 m

According to the law of conservation of energy, the initial potential energy of the spring is equal to the sum of final spring potential energy and the kinetic energy of cork such that,

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v is the muzzle velocity of this cork.

kx^2=kx'^2+mv^2      

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{k(x^2-x'^2)}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{10\times ((0.05)^2-(0.01)^2)}{0.006}}

v = 2 m/s

So, the muzzle velocity of this cork is 2 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Is there a difference between potential difference, voltage and EMF?
Andreas93 [3]
There may be an esoteric technical shade or nuance of difference.  But I've been an electrical engineer for 40 years now, and have always used them interchangeably.

(I would have answered your question by saying "No.", but this website won't accept an answer that's less than 200 characters long.)

A 22.0-kg child is riding a playground merrygo-round that is rotating at 40.0 rev/min. What centripetal force is exerted if he i
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

F=480.491 N

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 22 kg

Angular speed ω = 40 rev/min

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi \times 40}{60}\ rad/s

ω =4.18 rad/s

The radius  r= 1.25 m

We know that centripetal force is given as

F=m ω² r

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=22\times 4.18^2\times 1.25\ N

F=480.491 N

Therefore the centripetal force on the child will be 480.491 N.
