Dwight uses a spring (k = 70 N/m) on a horizontal surface to make a launcher for model cars. The spring is attached to a holder
kramer

Part A)

As we know that spring force is given by

F = kx

here x = stretch in the spring from natural length

So here  when spring reaches to its natural length

Force due to spring = 0

so acceleration = 0

Part b)

When spring is compressed from its natural length it will have elastic potential energy in it

so it is given by

U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

now we know that there is no friction in it so maximum kinetic energy of the launcher must be equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring

KE = \frac{1}{2}kx^2

here we have

k = 70 N/m

x = 0.4 m

KE = \frac{1}{2}(70)(0.4)^2

KE = 5.6 J

Part c)

Now to find the speed we know that

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

5.6 = \frac{1}{2}0.3v^2

v = 6.11 m/s

so its speed is 6.11 m/s

A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.40
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

53.895 m.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2as .............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity of the swan, u = initial velocity of the swan, a = acceleration of the swan, s = distance covered by the swan.

make s the subject of the equation,

s = (v² - u²)/2a----------- Equation 2

Given: v = 6.4 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest)  a = 0.380 m/s².

Substitute into equation 2

s = (6.4²-0²)/(2×0.380)

s = 40.96/0.76

s = 53.895 m.

Hence the swan will travel 53.895 m before becoming airborne.

The frictional force is given by F = μmg 

<span>where μ is the coeficient of friction. </span>

<span>Work done by frictional force = Fd = μmgd </span>

<span>Kinetic energy "lost" = 1/2 mv² </span>


<span>Fd = μmgd = 1/2 mv² </span>

<span>The m's cancel μgd = v² / 2 </span>



<span>d = v² / 2μg </span>

<span>d = 8² / 2(0.41)(9.8) </span>

The brachialis attaches to the forearm .035 m from the elbow at an angle of 32 deg. If the brachialis produces 750 N of force, w
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

XY=636N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance d=0.35m

Angle \theta=32\textdegree

Force F=750N

Generally the equation for magnitude of the stabilizing component of the brachialis force is mathematically given by

 XY=Fcos\theta

 XY=750cos 32\textdegree

 XY=636N
