A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force

constant of 8.08 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.8 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.031 0 N on the ball.With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the cannon?

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J

Energy lost due to friction

W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052

v = 1.40 m/sec

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. the loaded cart
Troyanec [42]

Since it was stated that it must move at constant velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.

So the equation is:

F cos θ = Ff

F cos 36 = 65 N

F = 80.34 N

 

<span>So the nurse must exert 80.34 N of force</span>
