Answer:

The initial speed of the cork was 1.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the horizontal position of the cork in function of time is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos θ

Where:

x = horizontal position at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial speed of the cork.

t = time.

θ = launching angle.

If we place the origin of the frame of reference at the launching point, then x0 = 0.

We know that at t = 1.25 s, x = 1.50 m. We also know the launching angle so we can solve the equation of horizontal position for the initial speed, v0:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

x / t · cos θ = v0

v0 = 1.50 m / (1.25 s · cos (40.0°)

v0 = 1.57 m/s

The initial speed of the cork was 1.57 m/s.

Answer:

1.57 m/s.

Explanation:

Horizontal velocity = distance/time

= 1.5/1.25

= 1.2 m/s

Vo * CosΘ = Vx

Cos(40) = 1.2/x

= 1.2/cos(40)

= 1.57 m/s.

Answer:

v = 15.45 m/s

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)

here we know that

W_f = F_f . d

W_f = 40 \times 4

W_f = 160 J

Initial compression in the spring is given as

F = kx

4400 = 1100 x

x = 4 m

now from above equation

W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)

160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)

160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2

v = 15.45 m/s

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.
