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

An object weigh 40N in air ,weigh 20N when submerged in water,and 30N when submerged in a liquid of unknown liquid density.what

muminat

Answer:

The density is $\rho_u =500 kg /m^3$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight in air is $W_a = 40 \ N$

The weight in water is $W_w = 20 \ N$

The weight in a unknown liquid is $W_u = 30 \ N$

Now according to Archimedes principle the weight of the object in water is mathematically represented as

$W_w = W_a -m _w g$

Where $m_w$ is he mass of the water displaced

substituting value

$m_w g = 40 -20$

$m_w g = 20 \ N --- (1)$

Now according to Archimedes principle the weight of the object in unknown is mathematically represented as

$W_u = W_a -m _u g$

Where $m_u$ is he mass of the unknown liquid displaced

substituting value

$m_u g = 40 -30$

$m_u g = 10 \ N ---(2)$

dividing equation 2 by equation 1

$\frac{m_ug}{m_wg} = \frac{10}{20}$

$\frac{m_u}{m_w} = \frac{1}{2}$

=> $m_u = 0.5 m_w$

Now since the volume of water and liquid displaced are the same then

$\rho _u = 0.5 \rho_w$

This because

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

So if volume is constant

mass = constant * density

Where $\rho_u$ is the density of the liquid

and $\rho_ w$ is the density of water which is a constant with a value $\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$

So

$\rho_u = 1000*0.5$

$\rho_u =500 kg /m^3$

The side length of a square is modeled by s=A, where A is the area of the square. Graph the function. What is the side length of

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

√35 square units

Explanation:

Area of square = 35square units

Formula of area of square is a =s*s where a is area and s is side

So,

s*s = 35

s^2= 35

s = √35

tell me if this is the answer u r looking for
