You are loading a toy dart gun, which has two settings, the more powerful with the spring compressed twice as far as the lower s

etting. If it takes 5.0 J of work to compress the dart gun to the lower setting, how much work does it take for the higher setting?
A. 20 J
B. 10 J
C. 2.5 J
D. 40 J

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

compression for lower setting = x

work done to compress in lower setting = 5 J

compression in higher setting, x' = 2 x

work done in higher setting = ?

Work done in compression of spring at lower setting

W = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

5 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2............(1)

Work done in compression of spring at higher setting

W' = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

W'= \dfrac{1}{2}k(2x)^2

W'= 4\times \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

W'= 4\times W

from equation (1)

W'= 4\times 5

    W' = 20 J

Work take for the higher setting is equal to 20 J

Hence, the correct answer is option A

Inessa [10]

Answer: p= m/v so 90kg/.075m^3 = 1,200

2a. .35 m 1.1 m and .015 m

2b. 35 cm x 110 cm x 1.5 cm = 5,775 cm^3 = 57.75 m^3

mass= pv

2700•57.75= 155,925 kg

mass= 155,925 kg

volume= 57.75 m^3

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure
neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c
Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe,d_1=0.573 m

v_1=13.5 m/s

v_2=5.83 m/s

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe=Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})

Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s

By equation of continuity

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2

d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1

d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}

d_2=0.87 m

d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm

1 m=100 cm

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.

Explanation:

SO YOU HAVE THE LEAST KINETIC ENERGY AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE SWING WHEN IT'S NOT ACTIVE
