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}

You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 30 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w
Vesna [10]

Answer:

\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

u_1 = Velocity of one lump = 3x+3y-3z

u_2 = Velocity of the other lump = -4x+0y-4z

m = Mass of each lump = 30\ \text{g}

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is \ \text{m/s}.

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high pop-up. If the ball remains in the air for 6.22 s, how high does it rise? The accel
BigorU [14]

Answer:

47.4 m

Explanation:

When an object is thrown upward, it rises up, it reaches its maximum height, and then it goes down. The time at which it reaches its maximum height is half the total time of flight.

In this case, the time of flight is 6.22 s, so the time the ball takes to reach the maximum height is

t=\frac{6.22}{2}=3.11 s

Now we consider only the downward motion of the ball: it is a free fall motion, so we can find the vertical displacement by using the suvat equation

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the vertical displacement

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 3.11 s is the time

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

Solving the  formula, we find

s=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(3.11)^2=47.4 m
