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)

Why do waves in a tank are 10 cm long if they pass a point at a rate of 3.75 waves per second what is the speed in m/s?
AURORKA [14]

Answer: 0.0267m/s

Explanation: Wave speed in m/s

Speed = Distance/Time

Substitute the given values into the formula

Speed = 0.1/3.75

Speed = 0.0267m/s

A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95 m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of a
Aleks [24]

volume of balloon

= 4/3 T R3

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 6.953

= 1405.47 m3

uplift force

= volume of balloon x density of air x 9.8

= = 1405.47 x 1.29 x 9.8

= 1813.05 x 9.8 N

weight of helium gas

= volume of balloon x density of helium x

9.8

= 1405.47 x .179 x 9.8

= 251.58 x 9.8 N

Weight of other mass = 930 x 9.8 N Total weight acting downwards

= 251.58 x 9.8 +930 x 9.8

= 1181.58 x 9.8 N

If W be extra weight the uplift can balance

1181.58 × 9.8 + W × 9.8 = 1813.05 * 9.8

1181.58+W=1813.05

W= 631.47 kg
