Neil and Gus are having a competition to see who can launch a marble highest in the air using their own spring. Neil has a firm

spring (kNeil = 50.8 N/m), but it can be compressed only a maximum of yNeil, max = 14.0 cm. Gus’s spring is less firm than Neil’s (kGus = 12.7 N/m), but its maximum compression is greater (yGus, max = 27.0 cm). Given that the mass of the marble is 4.5 g and ignoring the effects of air resistance, who can launch the marble the highest and what is the winning height? Assume the marble starts from the same height, in both cases when the springs are at maximum compression.

Answer:

Neil (221.2m) can throw the marble higher than Gus (205.4 m)

Explanation:

Let's use the law of conservation of energy, the selected points are, the - --    maximum compression of the spring

        Eo = Ke = ½ k x2

Maximum height

        Ef = U = mgh

As there is no rubbing

         E = Ef

         ½ k x² = ½ m g h

         h = k x² / m

Let's calculate for each person

Neil

         x1 = 14.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.140 m

         m = 4.5 gr (1 kg / 1000 g) = 4.5 10⁻³ kg

         h1 = 50.8 0.140 2 /4.5 10⁻³

         h1 = 221.2 m

Gus

        x2 = 27.0 cm = 0.270 m

        h2 = 12.7 0.270 2 /4.5 10⁻³

        h2 = 205.4 m

We see that Neil (221.2m) can throw the marble higher than Gus (205.4 m)

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?
Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

I_{total}=I_1=I_2

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

V_{total}=V_1+V_2

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

R_{total}=R_1+R_2

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

A Mercedes-Benz 300SL (m = 1700 kg) is parked on a road that rises 15 degrees above the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of (
kogti [31]

Answer: See below

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of the Mercedes-Benz (m) = 1700 kg

Inclination of the road (θ) = 15.0

<em>The free body diagram is shown in figure attached below</em>

<em />

a) The normal force is equal to the cos component of the weight of the car.

\begin{aligned}&f=m g \cos \theta \\&f=1700 \times 9.81 \times \cos 15 \\&f=16108.74 \mathrm{~N}\end{aligned}

b) The static force will be equal to the weight's sin component.

\begin{aligned}&f=m g \sin \theta \\&f=1700 \times 9.81 \times \sin 15 \\&f=4316.32 \mathrm{~N}\end{aligned}
