A spring-loaded pellet gun is designed to fi re 3.00-g projectiles horizontally at a speed of 45.0 m/s. (a) If the spring is com

pressed to its maximum design difference of 8.00 cm, what spring constant is required?

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

What is the role of the neutral wire

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The neutral wire is often confused with ground wire, but in reality, they serve two distinct purposes. Neutral wires carry currents back to power source to better control and regulate voltage. Its overall purpose is to serve as a path to return energy.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers $d=1.6\ m$

Distance of person from one speaker $x_1=3\ m$

Distance of person from second speaker $x_2=3.5\ m$

Path difference between the waves is given by

$x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}$

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

$x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$\lambda =0.5\times 2$

$\lambda =1\ m$

frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda }$

where $v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)$

$f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz$

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. $m=1$ and $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m$

frequency corresponding to this is

$f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz$

for $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m$

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

$f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$f_3=1715\ Hz$
