A rifle fires a 2.01 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the t

rigger is pulled. The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 9.45 10-2 m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 6.03 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.

Answer:

The value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of pellet m = 2.01 \times 10^{-2} kg

Height difference of pellet rise h_{f} - h_{o} = 6.03 m

Spring compression x = 9.45 \times 10^{-2} m

From energy conservation law,

Spring potential energy is stored into potential energy,

  mg(h_{f} -h_{o})  = \frac{1}{2} kx^{2}

Where k = spring constant, g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

  k = \frac{2mg(h_{f} -h_{o} )}{x^{2} }

  k = \frac{2 \times 9.8 \times 6.03\times 2.01 \times 10^{-2} }{(9.45\times 10^{-2} )^{2} }

  k = 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

Therefore, the value of spring constant is 266.01 \frac{N}{m}

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Explanation:

From hf=eV

h= Plank's constant = 6.6×10^-34JS

f= frequency of the electromagnetic wave = 5.2×10^4 Hz

e= electronic charge= 1.6×10^-19 C

V= voltage

V= hf/e

V= 6.6×10^-34JS × 5.2×10^4 Hz/ 1.6×10^-19 C

V= 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Therefore the voltage created is 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Describe how the student should measure the time taken for the toy parachute to
PolarNik [594]

The time must be measured with respect to gravity. As it falls, it has free fall that is the force acting on it will be the gravity.With the distance in account, d = 1/2 gt²

t = √(2d/g)

A truck is traveling at 2.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 3.00 s. How far does the car travel during those 3.0
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.

Explanation:

The simple rule of three is a tool that is used to quickly solve problems, where three pieces of information must be known, and one of them operates as an unknown to be known.

Two magnitudes are directly proportional if one magnitude increases the other also does it, and if the magnitude decreases the other in the same way.

Being a, b and c known data and x the unknown, the value that we want to know, the rule of three when the magnitudes are directly proportional is applied as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, knowing that a truck travels at 2 m/s, the rule of three applies as follows: if in 1 second the truck travels 2 m, in 3 seconds how much distance does it travel?

distance=\frac{3 s*2 m}{1 s}

distance= 6 m

<u><em> During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.</em></u>

Stress distributed over an area is best described as: a) External force b) Axial force c) Radial force d) Internal resistive for
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.

Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.

         \texttt{Stress}=\frac{\texttt{Internal resistive force}}{\texttt{Area}}

         \sigma =\frac{F}{A}

So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.

Option D is the correct answer.
