The spring in the muzzle of a child's spring gun has a spring constant of 730 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first the sprin
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a. V=11.84 m/s

b.x=0.052m

Explanation:

a).

Given

K=730 N/m,m=0.053kg, h=1.90m.

v_f^2=v_i^2+2*g*h

v_i^2=2*g*h=2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m

v_i=\sqrt{2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}=\sqrt{37.24 m^2/s^2}

v_i=6.1 m/s

v_i=V*sin(31)

V=\frac{v_i}{sin(31)}=\frac{6.1m/s}{sin(31)}

V=11.84 m/s

b).

K_k=\frac{1}{2}*K*x^2

No friction on the ball so:

x^2=\frac{2*K_k}{K}

x=\sqrt{\frac{2*0.053kg*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}{730N/m}}

x=\sqrt{2.7x10^{-3}m^2}=0.052m

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Sim
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The distance covered by puck A before collision is  z = 8.56 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The label on the two hockey pucks is  A and  B

    The distance between the  two hockey pucks is D   18.0 m

     The speed of puck A is  v_A =  3.90 \ m/s

        The speed of puck B is  v_B  =  4.30 \ m/s

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

     z =  v_A * t

  =>  t  =  \frac{z}{v_A}

 The distance covered by puck B  is  mathematically represented as

      18 - z =  v_B  * t

=>   t  = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}

Since the time take before collision is the same

        \frac{18 - z}{V_B}  =  \frac{z}{v_A}

substituting values

          \frac{18 -z }{4.3}  = \frac{z}{3.90}

=>      70.2 - 3.90 z   = 4.3 z

=>       z = 8.56 \ m

4. A trolley of mass 2kg rests next to a trolley of mass 3 kg on a flat
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. The total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation is 12 kg·m/s

d. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley is -12 kg·m/s

e. The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -4 m/s

Explanation:

a. The total momentum of the trolleys which are at rest before the separation is zero

b. By the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of the trolleys after separation = The total momentum of the trolleys before separation = 0

c. The momentum of the 2 kg trolley after separation = Mass × Velocity = 2 kg × 6 m/s = 12 kg·m/s

d. Given that the total momentum of the trolleys after separation is zero, the momentum of the 3 kg trolley is equal and opposite to the momentum of the 2 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

e. The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = Mass of the 3 kg Trolley × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley

∴ The momentum of the 3 kg trolley = 3 kg × Velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s

The velocity of the 3 kg trolley = -12 kg·m/s/(3 kg) = -4 m/s

Your in an escape room. Only its real and your oxygen runs out in 3 minutes unless you solve this problem, The problem :a ball i
alex41 [277]

The sum of the series allows to find the result for the total distance that the ball bounces is:

            total distance = 59.52 in

A series is a set of things or numbers related by a specific operation.

They indicate that the ball falls from an initial height y₀ = 30 in. and it bounces 50% of the height and the process is repeated until it stops, see attached.

Let's build a table to observe the sequence.

drop   height    rebound

   1        30          15

   2       15            7.5

   3        7.5         3.75

If we call the first term y₀  

The first bounce can be found.

                             y₁ = \frac{y_o}{2}

The second bounces.

                             y_2 = \frac{y_1}{2}  \\y_2 = \frac{y_o}{4}

The third bounce.

                             y_3  = \frac{y_2}{2}  \\y_3 = \frac{y_0}{ 8}

By observing this table we can construct a series of the form

 

      Total distance = y_o \ ( 1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}+  \frac{1}{8} + ... +\frac{1}{2n} )

The sum of the serie has a result of

        sum  = 127/64 = 1,984

Let's calculate

     distance total  = 30 1,984

     Distance total = 59.52 cm

In conclusion, using the sum of the series we can find the result for the total distance that the ball bounces is:

            total distance = 59.52 in
