Question:

A 200 g dart is pressed against the spring of a toy dart gun. The spring (with spring constant k = 500 N/s) is compressed by 6.0 cm and released. If the dart detaches from the spring when the spring reaches its equilibrium length (x = 0), what is the launch speed of the dart?

Answer:

PE = KE

1/2kx^2 = 1/2mv^2

Sole for v:

v = sqrt(kx^2/m)

v = sqrt(500*(0.06)^2/0.200)

v = sqrt(1.8/0.200

v = sqrt(9)

v = 3 m/s

I really hoped this helped you. :) Sorry if it didn't.

A solid concrete block weighs 140 N and is resting on the ground. Its dimensions are 0.370 m x 0.150 m x 0.0820 m. A number of i

belka [17]

Answer: 18 blocks in total ( 17 add to the original in contact with the ground)

Explanation:

The pressure on the face in contact with the ground ( we choose the face 0.15m x 0.082m)

Pressure= Force ( weigth) /Area

1 Atm = 101325 Pascal [N/ m^2]

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.

Two 10 kg pucks head straight towards each other with velocities of 10 m/s and -20 m/s. They collide and stick together. Calcula

RUDIKE [14]

The final velocity of the two pucks is -5 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, in absence of external force, the total momentum of the two pucks before and after the collision must be conserved - so we can write:

$m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1 +m_2)v$
