The massless spring of a spring gun has a force constant k=12~\text{N/cm}k=12 N/cm. When the gun is aimed vertically, a 15-g pro

jectile is shot to a height of 5.0 m above the end of the expanded spring. (See below.) How much was the spring compressed initially?

Answer:

0.011 m.

Explanation:

Energy stored in the spring = Energy of the projectile.

1/2ke² = mgh ................ Equation 1

Where k = spring constant, e = extension or compression, m = mass of the projectile, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

make e the subject of the equation

e = √(2mgh/k)............................. Equation 2

Given: k = 12 N/cm = 1200 N/m, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg, h = 5.0 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

e = √(2×0.015×5/1200)

e = √(0.15/1200)

e = √(0.000125)

e = 0.011 m.

How does the carbon rod of a cell beomes a positive<br>terminal?​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

In the middle of a dry cell, is a rod made of carbon. Around the carbon rod is a chemical paste. At the same time, the carbon rod becomes positively charged. When this happens, electrical current flows out of the cell when a conductor is attached between the cell's positive and negative terminals.

N asteroid of mass 58,000 kg carrying a negative charge of 15 μc is 180 m from a second asteroid of mass 52,000 kg carrying a ne
Deffense [45]
For this problem, we use the Coulomb's Law. The working equation is written below:

F = kQ₁Q₂/d²
where 
F is the electric force
k is a constant equal to 8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²
Q is the charges for the two objects
d is he distance between the objects

Substituting the values,
F = (8.99 × 10⁹ N • m²/C²)(-15×10⁻⁶ C)(-11×10⁻⁶ C)/(180²)
F = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N

Next, we determine the gravitational force using the Law of Universal Gravitation:

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
F is the gravitational force
G is a constant equal to 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²
m is the masses of the objects
d is the distance between the objects

F = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N • m²/kg²)(58,000 kg)(52,000 kg)/(180²)
F = 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N

The sum of the two forces equal the net force:
Net force = 4.578×10⁻⁵ N + 6.2089×10⁻⁶ N = 1.079×10⁻⁵ N

A coin of mass 0.05 kg is placed at a radius r= 0.1m meter on a horizontal turntable which is turning uniformly at a rate of one
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:F=0.0882kg

Explanation:

The period it takes to make one revolution is 1.5 seconds / revolutions,

v = r * (change in angle / change in time)

the change in angle is 2pi, for one whole revolution. the time is 1.5 second per revolution, and the radius is 0.1.

v = (2 * pi * 0.1 cm * / 1.5second

v = 0.42m/s

a=v^2/r

a=0.42^2 /0.1 =1.764m/s2

F=ma

F=0.05*1.764

F=0.0882kg
