I believe the answer would be , it may change from one element to another. I’m saying this because during nuclear transmutation is when a subatomic particle fired at the nucleus of an atom changes into a heavier element , to break the nucleus apart into two nuclei and energy.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses
dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

topjm [15]

Answer:

\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}

So, the change in the potential energy is

\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})
