Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.97-g pellet
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

v  = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

This is a problem easily solve using energy conservation. As there are no non-conservative forces, we know that the energy is conserved.

When the spring is compressed downward, the spring has elastic potential energy. When the spring is relaxed, there is no elastic potential energy, but the pellet will have gained gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Lets see what are the terms for each of this.

<h3>Elastic potential energy</h3>

We know that a spring following Hooke's Law has a elastic potential energy:

E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} k (\Delta x)^2

where \Delta x is the displacement from the relaxed length and k is the spring's constant.

To obtain the spring's constant, we know that Hooke's law states that the force made by the spring is :

\vec{F} = - k \Delta \vec{x}

as we need 9.12 N to compress 4.60 cm, this means:

k = \frac{9.12 \ N}{4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m}

k = 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m}

So, the elastic energy of the compressed spring is:

E_{ep} = \frac{1}{2} 198.26 \ \frac{ N}{m} (4.6 \ 10^{-2} \ m)^2

E_{ep} = 0.209759 \ Joules

And when the spring is relaxed, the elastic potential energy will be zero.

<h3>Gravitational potential energy</h3>

To see how much gravitational potential energy will the pellet win, we can use

\Delta E_{gp} = m g \Delta h

where m is the mass of the pellet, g is the acceleration due to gravity and \Delta h is the difference in height.

Taking all this together, the gravitational potential energy when the spring is relaxed will be:

\Delta E_{gp} = 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} 4.6 \ 10^{-2} m

\Delta E_{gp} = 0.00224 \ Joules

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

We know that the kinetic energy for a mass m moving at speed v is:

E_k = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

so, for the pellet will be

E_k = \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2

<h3>All together</h3>

By conservation of energy, we know:

E_{ep} = \Delta E_{gp} + E_k

0.209759 \ Joules = 0.00224 \ Joules + \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2

So

\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2  = 0.209759 \ Joules - 0.00224 \ Joules

\frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg \ v^2  = 0.207519 \ Joules

v  = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.207519 \ Joules}{ \frac{1}{2} \ 4.97 \ 10^{-3} kg } }

v  = 2.8898 \frac{m}{s}

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.
Over [174]
All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity. 

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s. 

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

Why do magnetic bodies lose their magnetic force?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Well a s the temperature increases, at a certain point called the Curie temperature, a magnet will lose its strength completely. So once the metal cools, its ability to attract magnets returns, though its permanent magnetism becomes weak. In general heat is the factor that has the most effect on permanent magnets.Explanation:
