Answer:
0.045 J
Explanation:
From the question,
The elastic potential energy stored in a spring is given as,
E = 1/2ke²...................... Equation 1
Where E = elastic potential energy, k = spring constant, e = compression.
Given: k = 100 N/m, e = 0.05-0.02 = 0.03 m
Substitute these values into equation 1
E = 1/2(100)(0.03²)
E = 50(9×10⁻⁴)
E = 0.045 J
Hence the right option is 0.045 J

Now, differentiating w.r.t x:
![\frac{d\theta }{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} - tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bd%5Ctheta%20%7D%7Bdx%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5Btan%5E%7B-1%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%20%2B%20h%7D%7Bx%7D%20-%20%20tan%5E%7B-1%7D%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bx%7D%5D)
For maximum angle,

Now,
0 = [/tex]\frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} - tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}][/tex]
0 = 

After solving the above eqn, we get
x = 
The observer should stand at a distance equal to x = 
D. distance = 23 m, displacement = + 1 m
Explanation:
Let's remind the difference between distance and displacement:
- distance is a scalar, and is the total length covered by an object, counting all the movements in any direction
- displacement is a vector connecting the starting point and the final point of a motion, so its magnitude is given by the length of this vector, and its direction is given by the direction of this vector.
In this case, the distance covered by Karen is given by the sum of all its movements:

The displacement instead is given by the difference between the final point (1.0 m in front of the starting line) and the starting point (the starting line, 0 m):

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:

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

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:

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

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