<h2>It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial speed, u = 34 ft/s = 10.36 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = Final height - Initial height = 8 - 4 = 4 ft = 1.22 m

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

              s = ut + 0.5 at²

              1.22 = 10.36 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

              4.905t² - 10.36 t + 1.22 = 0

              t = 1.99 s     or    t = 0.125 seconds

Minimum time is 0.125 seconds.

It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is  P_g  =  2058 \ P_a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The height of the water contained is  h_w  =  30 \ cm  =  0.3 \ m

        The height of liquid in the cylinder is  h_t  =  40 \ cm  = 0.4 \ m

       

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is  mathematically represented as

        P_g  =  P_w + P_o

Where  P_w is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

      P_w  =  \rho_w  *  g * h_w

Now  \rho_w is the density of water with a constant values of  \rho_w  = 1000 \ kg /m^3

   substituting values

      P_w  = 1000 *  9.8 *  0.3

     P_w  =  2940 \  Pa

While P_o is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

          P_o  =  \rho_o *  g *  (h_t -h_w )

Where \rho _o is the density of oil with a constant value

         \rho _o  = 900 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

       P_o  =  900 *  9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)

       P_o  =  882 \ Pa

Therefore

      P_g  =  2940 - 882

      P_g  =  2058 \ P_a

The massless spring of a spring gun has a force constant k=12~\text{N/cm}k=12 N/cm. When the gun is aimed vertically, a 15-g pro
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

0.011 m.

Explanation:

Energy stored in the spring = Energy of the projectile.

1/2ke² = mgh ................ Equation 1

Where k = spring constant, e = extension or compression, m = mass of the projectile, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

make e the subject of the equation

e = √(2mgh/k)............................. Equation 2

Given: k = 12 N/cm = 1200 N/m, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg, h = 5.0 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

e = √(2×0.015×5/1200)

e = √(0.15/1200)

e = √(0.000125)

e = 0.011 m.
