Answer:

The spring constant required = 949.2 N/m

Explanation:

The energy stored in the spring is converted to kinetic energy of the projectiles fired.

Energy stored in spring's = kx²/2

Kinetic energy of bullets = mv²/2

k = spring constant = ?

x = maximum compression of the spring = 8 cm = 0.08 m

m = mass of projectiles fired = 3.0 g = 0.003 kg

v = velocity of projectiles fired = 45.0 m/s

kx² = mv²

k (0.08²) = 0.003 (45²) = 6.075

k = 949.2 N/m

The spring constant required = 949.2 N/m

Answer:

c) 8.3 x 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the volume of the glass of water from mL to cm^3:

V=250 mL = 250 cm^3

The relationship between mass and volume is:

d=\frac{M}{V}

where

d=1.00 g/cm^3 is the density of water

M is the total mass of the glass of water

V=250 cm^3 is the volume of the water in the glass

Solving for M,

M=dV=(1.00)(250)=250 g = 0.250 kg

Now we know that the mass of a single molecule of water is

m=3.0\cdot 10^{-26}kg

The total mass of the water in the glass can be written as

M=Nm

where

N is the number of molecules in the glass of water

Solving for N, we find:

N=\frac{M}{m}=\frac{0.250}{3.0\cdot 10^{-26}}=8.3\cdot 10^{24}

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Gravity varies when the Earth rotates and its mass and density differ based on where you are on the planet. Knowing how gravity affects sea level thus aids geodesists in making more precise calculations. The mean sea level would be higher in parts of the earth where gravitational forces are heavier.
