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.
Answer:
0.79 s
Explanation:
We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:
The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that 
Now, we find the acceleration:
Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:
-- Starting from nothing (New Moon), the moon's shape grows ('waxes')
for half of the cycle, until it's full, and then it shrinks ('wanes') for the next
half of the cycle.
-- The moon's complete cycle of phases runs 29.53 days . . . roughly
four weeks.
-- So, beginning from New Moon, it spends about two weeks waxing until
it's full, and then another two weeks waning until it's all gone again.
-- After a Full Moon, the moon is waning for the next two weeks. So it's
definitely <em>waning</em> at <em><u>one week</u></em> after Full.
