A toy gun uses a spring to project a 5.9-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu

n is 17 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.035 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.7 cm for this launch?

Answer:

Explanation:

Stored energy in spring = 1/2 k x² , k is spring constant , x is compression.

= 1/2 x 8 x (5.7 x 10⁻²)²

= 129.96 x 10⁻⁴ J

Energy lost due to friction = force x distance

= .035 x .17

= .00595 J

Energy used in providing kinetic energy to projectile.  

129.96 x 10⁻⁴  - .00595

.012996 - .00595

= .007046 J

So

1/2 m v² = .007046

v² = .007046  x 2 / .0059

= 2.3885

v = 1.545 m /s

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 5.9 g = 0.0059 kg

Spring constant, K = 8 N/m

length of barrel, s = 17 cm = 0.17 m

frictional force, f = 0.035 N

Compression in spring, Δs = 5.7 cm = 0.057 m

let the speed of the projectile is v.

Energy stored in the spring, E = 0.5 KΔs²

E = 0.5 x 8 x 0.057 x 0.057 = 0.012996 J

Work done by the friction force, W = f x s = 0.035 x 0.17 = 0.00595 J

Energy used to move the projectile, E' = E - W

E' = 0.012996 - 0.00595 = 0.007046 J

E' = 1/2 mv²

0.007046 = 0.5 x 0.0059 x v²

v² = 2.3885

v = 1.55 m/s

if the angular momentum of a rigid body is changing, does that mean that there must be a net torque acting on the body?
masha68 [24]

The attribute of any rotating object determined by the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity is known as angular momentum.

<h3>What is Angular Momentum?</h3>
  • Without a kickstand, attempting to balance while getting on a bicycle will definitely result in you falling off. However, these wheels gain angular momentum once you begin pedaling. They're going to be resistant to change, which will make balance simpler.
  • The definition of angular momentum is:  any rotating object's characteristic determined by moment of inertia times angular velocity.
  • It is a characteristic of rotating bodies determined by the sum of their moment of inertia and angular velocity. Since it is a vector quantity, the direction must also be taken into account in addition to the magnitude.
  • Angular Momentum Examples : We encounter this property frequently, whether knowingly or unknowingly.
  • The following provides some examples : Ice-skater
  • In order to begin a spin, an ice skater starts with her hands and legs spread widely from the center of her body. She moves her hands and leg closer to her body when she needs to spin with more angular velocity, though.
  • As a result, she conserves angular momentum and spins faster.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use conservation of energy

the electric potential energy is

          U = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r_{12}}

for the proton at x = -1 m

          U₁ =- k \frac{e^2 }{r+1}

for the electron at x = 1 m

          U₂ = k \frac{e^2 }{r-1}

starting point.

        Em₀ = K + U₁ + U₂

        Em₀ = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1}

final point

         Em_f = k e^2 ( -\frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})

   

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e^2 (- \frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})              

       

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e²(  \frac{2}{(r_2+1)(r_2-1)} )

we substitute the values

½ 9.1 10⁻³¹ 450 + 9 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² [ - \frac{1}{20+1} + \frac{1}{20-1} ) = 9 109 (1.6 10-19) ²( \frac{2}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 2.304 10⁻³⁷ (5.0125 10⁻³) = 4.608 10⁻³⁷ ( \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 1.1549 10⁻³⁹ = 4.608 10⁻³⁷     \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          \frac{2.0475 \ 10^{-28} }{1.1549 \ 10^{-37} } = \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          r₂² -1 = (4.443 10⁸)⁻¹

           

          r2 = \sqrt{1 + 2.25 10^{-9}}

          r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>

A student calculates the density of a copper cube to be 4.15 g/cm . If the accepted value is 8.64 g/cm the percentage error in h
Helen [10]

 The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.

<h3>What is percentage error?</h3>

This is the ratio of the error to the actual measurement, expressed in percentage.

To calculate the percentage error of the student, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Error(%) = (calculated value-accepted value)100/(accepted............. Equation 1

From the question,

Given:

  • Calculated value = 4.15 g/cm
  • accepted value = 8.64 g/cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • Error(%) = (4.15-8.64)100/8.64
  • Error(%) = -4.49(100)/8.64
  • Error(%) = -449/8.64
  • Error(%) = -51.97 %

 

Hence, The percentage error in his experimental value is -51.97%.
