Answer:

a, k=888.88N/m^2

b, f=133.33N

Explanation:

One type of BB gun uses a spring-driven plunger to blow the BB from its barrel.

(a) Calculate the force constant of its plunger’s spring if you must compress it 0.150 m to drive the 0.0500-kg plunger to a top speed of 20.0 m/s.

(b) What force must be exerted to compress the spring?

let's start by stating the parameters that are involved in this question

x=compression, 0.15m

velocity=20m/s

mass=0.05kg

to get the energy by the plunger

e=1/2mv^2

e=0.5*0.05*20^2

e=10J

the potential energy stored in the spring can be used to get the force constant

potential energy=1/2kx^2

10=0.5*k*0.15^2

0.0225k=20

k=888.88N/m^2

recall from hooke's law which states that the force applied on an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension/compression, as far as the elastic limit is not exceeded

f=kx

f=888.88*.15

f=133.33N, force exerted to compress the spring

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

h = 22.35 m

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of the rock,u = 0 m/s

length of the window,l = 2.7 m

time taken to cross the window,t = 0.129 s

Speed of the rock when it crosses the window

v = \dfrac{l}{t}

v = \dfrac{2.7}{0.129}

  v = 20.93 m/s

height of the building above the window

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 g h

20.93² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 22.35 m

Hence, the height of the building above the top of window is equal to h = 22.35 m

1. What is energy? What can an object with energy do?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. If we want to accelerate an object, then we must apply a force. Applying a force requires us to do work. After work has been done, energy has been transferred to the object, and the object will be moving with a new constant speed.

What gravitational force does the earth exert on a person
lara [203]

The  gravitational force exerted by the earth on a person standing on the earth's surface is 602.74 N.

<h3>What is the gravitational force of the earth on the person?</h3>

The gravitational force exerted by the earth on a person standing on the earth's surface is given below as follows:

  • F = \frac{Gm^{1}m^{2}}{r^{2}}

where

G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹

m¹ = 62 kg

m² = 5.97 * 10²⁷ kg

r = 6.4 * 10⁶ m

F = \frac{5.97*10^{24}*62*6.67*10^{-11}}{(6.4*10^{6}){2}} = 602.74\:N

Therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the earth on a person standing on the earth's surface is 602.74 N.
