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

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.

A fly travels along the x-axis. His starting point is x = 16 m and his ending point 15x = - 25 m. His flight lasts 4.0 seconds H
gogolik [260]

Explanation:

Starting position at x  = 16m

Ending position at x  = -25m

Time of flight  = 4s

Unknown:

Distance flown  = ?

Displacement  = ?

Speed  = ?

Velocity  = ?

Solution:

To find the distance flown, we should understand that the body is moving on the x - plane;  

  So distance  = 16 + 25  = 41m

Displacement is 41m to the left or -x axis

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

      Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}   = \frac{41}{4}   = 10.25m/s

Velocity is 10.25m/s along -x axis
