The same ball is shot straight up a second time from the same gun, but this time the spring is compressed only half as far befor

e firing. How far up does the ball go this time? Neglect friction. Assume that the spring is ideal and that the distance by which the spring is compressed is negligible compared to H.

Answer:

The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.

Explanation:

The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²

This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.

If the initial height reached is H

And the initial compression of the spring = x

So, mgH = (1/2)kx²

H = kx²/2mg

The new compression, x₁ = x/2

New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²

And the new potential energy = mgH₁

mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²

But x₁ = x/2

mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8

H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)

A man of 60kg moves in a lift of constant velocity 5m/s .What is the reactive force acting on the man by the elevator?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

588 N

Explanation:

Since the 60 kg is moving at a constant velocity there is no acceleration. In order for the system to be balanced, both the normal force and the force of gravity must be equal. In this case the man has a mass of 60 kg. So to find the force you multiply mass by gravitys constant (9.81). And you end up with an answer of 588.6 but I rounded to 588.

A ball is dropped from the top of a 77 m building. With what speed does the ball hit the ground? _________ m/s
vitfil [10]

Answer:

38.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the ball is dropped from a height = 77 m

u = 0 m/s

s = 77 m

a = g = 9.81 m/s²

Applying the expression as:

v^2-u^2=2as

Applying values as:

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 77+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=38.87\ m/s

<u>The speed with which the ball hit the ground = 38.87 m/s</u>
