The spring of a spring gun has force constant k = 400 N/m and negligible mass. The spring is compressed 6.00 cm and a ball with

mass 0.0300 kg is placed in the horizontal barrel against the compressed spring. The spring is then released, and the ball is propelled out the barrel of the gun. The barrel is 6.00 cm long, so the ball leaves the barrel at the same point that it loses contact with the spring. The gun is held so the barrel is horizontal.(a) Calculate the speed with which the ball leaves the barrel if you can ignore friction. (b) Calculate the speed of the ball as it leaves the barrel if a constant resisting force of 6.00 N acts on the ball as it moves along the barrel. (c) For the situation in part (b), at what position along the barrel does the ball have the greatest speed, and what is that speed? (In this case, the maximum speed does not occur at the end of the barrel.)

Answer:

A) v = 6.93 m/s

B) v = 4.9 m/s

C) x_m = 0.015m

D) v_max = 5.2 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

x = 6 cm = 0.06 m

k = 400 N

m = 0.03 kg

F = 6N

A) from work energy law, work dome by the spring on ball which now became a kinetic energy is;

Ws = K.E = ½kx²

Similarly, kinetic energy of ball is;

K.E = ½mv²

So, equating both equations, we have;

½kx² = ½mv²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(kx²/m)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

v = √((400 × 0.06²)/0.03)

v = √48

v = 6.93 m/s

B) If there is friction, the total work is;

Ws = ½kx² - - - (1)

Work of the ball is;

Wb = KE + Wf

So, Wb = ½mv² + fx - - - (2)

Combining both equations, we have;

½mv² + fx = ½kx²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

(½ × 0.03 × v²) + (6 × 0.06) = ½ × 400 × 0.06²

0.015v² + 0.36 = 0.72

0.015v² = 0.72 - 0.36

v² = 0.36/0.015

v = √24

v = 4.9 m/s

C) The speed is greatest where the acceleration stops i.e. where the net force on the ball is zero. (ie spring force matches 6.0N friction)

So, from F = Kx;

(x is measured into barrel from end where F = 0)

Thus; 6.0 = 400x

x_m = 6/400

x_m = 0.015m from the end after traveling 0.045m

D) Initial force on ball = (Kx - F) =

[(400 x 0.06) - 6.0] = 18N

Final force on ball = 0N

Mean Net force on ball = ½(18 + 0)

Mean met force, F_m = 9N

Net Work Done on ball = KE = 9N x 0.045m = 0.405 J

Thus;

½m(v_max)² = 0.405J

(v_max)² = 2 x 0.405/0.03

(v_max)² = 27

v(max) = √27

v_max = 5.2 m/s

The tallest building in the world, according to some architectural standards, is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 f
Andrej [43]

Answer:

35.14°C

Explanation:

The equation for linear thermal expansion is \Delta L = \alpha L_0\Delta T, which means that a bar of length L_0 with a thermal expansion coefficient \alpha under a temperature variation \Delta T will experiment a length variation \Delta L.

We have then \Delta L = 0.481 foot, L_0 = 1671 feet and \alpha = 0.000013 per centigrade degree (this is just the linear thermal expansion of steel that you must find in a table), which means from the equation for linear thermal expansion that we have a \Delta T =\frac{\Delta L }{\alpha L_0} = 22.14°. As said before, these degrees are centigrades (Celsius or Kelvin, it does not matter since it is only a variation), and the foot units cancel on the equation, showing no further conversion was needed.

Since our temperature on a cool spring day was 13.0°C, our new temperature must be T_f=T_0+\Delta T = 35.14°C

What are advantages and disadvantages of using a solar cooker compared to other meanings of cookings?
drek231 [11]

The advantage of using a solar cooker is that it is Eco-friendly and the disadvantage is that it can be used only under certain conditions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A solar cooker is used for cooking food without having to use electricity or gas. Instead, the appliance uses heat from the sun to cook food. It is used widely in by people who travel in remote areas or go on trips. But the appliance has limitations of its own too.

ADVANTAGES

  • Using it is friendly to the environment
  • It can be easily assembled without expert assistance
  • No compromise on the quality and taste of foo

DISADVANTAGES

  • Requires sun to function and prepare food
  • Cannot function in winters or monsoon when the sun isn't present
  • Does not retain heat as efficiently and quickly as compared to other cooking appliances

0.16 mol of argon gas is admitted to an evacuated 70 cm^3 container at 30°C. The gas then undergoes an isothermal expansion to a
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of argon = 0.16 mol

Initial volume = 70 cm³

Angle = 30°C

Final volume = 400 cm³

We need to calculate the initial pressure of gas

Using equation of ideal gas

PV=nRT

P_{i}=\dfrac{nRT}{V}

Where, P = pressure

R = gas constant

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

P_{i}=\dfrac{0.16\times8.314\times(30+273)}{70\times10^{-6}}

P_{i}=5.75\times10^{6}\ Pa

P_{i}=56.827\ atm

We need to calculate the final temperature

Using relation pressure and volume

P_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{V_{2}}

P_{2}=\dfrac{56.827\times70}{400}

P_{2}=9.94\ atm

Hence, The final pressure of the gas is 9.94 atm.
