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.

If the magnetic field is held constant at 3.0 T and the loop is pulled out of the region that contains the field in 0.2 s, what
kap26 [50]

Answer:

emf = 15 * Area  and if A is given in square meters, the units of the emf will be Volts

Explanation:

Assuming that the area of the loop of current (A) is known, the magnitude of the induced emf can be calculated using Faraday-Lenz's Law:

emf=|-\frac{\Delta\,\Phi}{\Delta \,t} |=|\frac{A\,B}{\Delta \,t}|=|\frac{A\,(3)}{0.2}|=15\,A

and if the area (A) is given in square meters, the emf will directly come in units of Volts.

What are the disadvantages of friction ?
lawyer [7]
In general? Well one example could be that if you owned an ice rink and somehow the ice had friction, you wouldn't be able to slide around on it any more to skate because the motion between one solid (your feet) and another (the ice) would increase. An effect of friction is heat, but my mixtape already fire so whats that even matter tbh.

A +17 nc charge is located at the origin. what is the strength of the electric field at the position (x,y)=(5.0cm,0cm)? express
gavmur [86]
The working equation to be used for this is written below:

E = kQ/d²
where
E is the electric field
k is a constant equal to 8.99 x 10⁹ N m²/C²
Q is the charge
d is the distance


E = (8.99 x 10⁹ N m²/C²)(17×10⁻⁹ C)/(0.05 m)²
E = 61,132 N/C

How many miles can you get on one tank of gas if your tank holds 18 gallons and you get 22 miles per
MrRissso [65]
Multiply the two. The units will cancel out. 22 miles per gallon can be expressed as 22 miles / 1 gallon, so you can write the following:
18 gallons * 22 miles / 1 gallon
Which simplifies to 18 * 22 miles = 396 miles.
