a spring is used to launch a ball vertically into the air. the spring has a spring constant of 200N/m and is compressed by 5 cm.

if a ball of 10g is placed above the spring, what is the height reached by the ball assuming all the elastic potential energy is converted to gravitational potential energy?​

Answer:

2.55 m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = gravitational energy

½ kx² = mgh

h = kx² / (2mg)

h = (200 N/m) (0.05 m)² / (2 × 0.010 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

h = 2.55 m

A 1.2 x10 3 kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 1.0 x 10 -4 kilogram insect as a result the insect is accelerated at a rate
Mariana [72]
According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg. The acceleration of the insect is a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2, therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

In billiards, the 0.165 kg cue ball is hit toward the 0.155 kg eight ball, which is stationary. The cue ball travels at 5.8 m/s
Damm [24]

Answer:

another ball velocity = 3.92 m/s and with 30° clockwise from initial direction

Explanation:

given data

mass m1 = 0.165 kg

mass m2 = 0.155 kg

before collision velocity v1 = 5.8 m/s

before collision velocity v2 = 0

angle =  35.0° from initial direction

after collision 1st ball velocity v3 = 3.2 m/s

to find out

after collision another ball velocity v4

solution

we consider here ball move in x axis and after collision 1st ball move upside of x axis with angle 35 degree and other ball move downside with x axis with angle θ

so from conservation of momentum we say

m1v1 = m1v3cos35 + m2v4cosθ   with x axis    .............1

m1v3sin35 = m2v4sinθ                   with y axis  .............2

so from 1 equation

0.165 × 5.8 = 0.165(3.2)cos35 + 0.155(v4)cosθ

v4 cosθ  = 3.38                                            .................3

form 2 equation

0.165(3.2)sin35 = 0.155(v4)sinθ  

v4 sinθ = 1.95                                              ......................4

so magnitude of another ball velocity is square and adding equation 3 and 4

another ball velocity = √(3.39²+1.96²)

another ball velocity = 3.92 m/s

and direction is tanθ = 1.96/3.39

θ = 30° clockwise from initial direction

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what
mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

  Pressure = \frac{force}{area}

To find the area;

        Area = \frac{force }{pressure}

    Area = \frac{40000}{250000} = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = \frac{0.16}{4} = 0.04m²
