Hey there!

It is false. Theories can be repeatedly tested to give people an explanation of the world.

Let me know if this helps :)

The potential energy stored in the compressed spring of a dart gun, with a spring constant of 32.50 N/m, is 0.640 J. Find by how

liraira [26]

Answer:

$x = 0.198456 \ m$

$h = 1.3061 \ m$

$v = 5.06 \ m/s$

$d = 4.0273 \ m$

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 32.50 N/m$

The potential energy is $PE = 0.640 \ J$

Generally the potential energy stored in spring is mathematically represented as $PE = \frac{1}{2} * k * x^2$

=> $0.640= \frac{1}{2} * 32.50 * x^2$

=> $x = \sqrt{0.03938}$

=> $x = 0.198456 \ m$

Considering the second question

From the question we are told that

The mass of the dart is m = 0.050 kg

Generally from the law of energy conservation

$PE = mgh$

=> $0.640 = 0.050 * 9.8 * h$

=> $h = 1.3061 \ m$

Considering the third question

The height at which the dart was fired horizontally is $H = 3.90\ m$

Generally from the law of energy conservation

$PE = KE$

Here KE is kinetic energy of the dart which is mathematical represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

=> $0.640 = \frac{1}{2} * 0.050 * v^2$

=> $v^2 = 25.6$

=> $v = 5.06 \ m/s$

Considering the fourth question

Generally the total time of flight of the dart is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{ 2 * H }{g}$

=> $t = \frac{ 2 * 3.90 }{9.8 }$

=> $t = 0.7959 \ s$

Generally the horizontal distance from the equilibrium position to the ground is mathematically represented as

$d = v * t$

=> $d = 5.06 * 0.7959$

=> $d = 4.0273 \ m$

If an object has a mass of 20 grams and a volume of 40 cm3, what is its density in g/cm3?

sattari [20]

Density = Mass/Volume
So, given mass = 20 g and volume = 40 cm^3
By substituting in above equation, Density = 20/40 = 0.5 g/cm^3
Hope it helps.

Which type of force pulls objects toward one another

Klio2033 [76]

Gravity ALWAYS does that, and electrostatic force does it when two objects have opposite charges.

What is the force exerted on a charge of 2.5 µC moving perpendicular through a magnetic field of 3.0 × 102 T with a velocity of

OverLord2011 [107]

Given:

B = $3 \times 10^{2}$ T

V= $5 \times 10^{3} \frac{m}{s}$

q = 2.5 × $10^{-6}$ C

α = 90

To find:

Force = ?

Formula used:

Force on the moving charge is given by,

F = q V B sin α

Where F = force exerted on moving charge

V = velocity of charge

q = charge

α = angle between direction of V and B

Solution:

F = q V B sin α

Where F = force exerted on moving charge

V = velocity of charge

q = charge

α = angle between direction of V and B

F = $2.5 \times 10^{-6} \times 3 \times 10^{2} \times 5 \times 10^{3}$

F = 37.5 × $10^{-1}$

F = 3.75 Newton

Thus, the force acting on the moving charge is 3.75 Newton.
