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

A spring with spring constant 11.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 490 g ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to res
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The time constant is \tau = 17.5 \ s    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The spring constant is  k = 11.5 \  N/m

   The mass  of the ball is  m_b  = 490 \ g  = 0.49 \ kg

   The amplitude of the  oscillation t the beginning is x =  6.70 cm = 0.067 \  m

    The amplitude after time t is  x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \  m

    The number of oscillation is N  = 30

Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as

       t  = N  *  T                                            Here  T is the period of oscillation

         t = N * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

=>     t = 30 * 2 * 3.142 *  \sqrt{\frac{ 0.490}{11.5} }

=>     t = 38.88 \  s

Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

         x(t) = x e^{-\frac{at}{2m} }

Here a is the damping  constant so

 at  t = 38.88 \  s ,  x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \  m

So  

     0.022 = 0.067 e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }

=>  0.3284 = e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }

taking natural log of both sides

=>  ln(0.3284 ) = -\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }    

=>   a = 0.028

Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as

    \tau = \frac{m}{a}      

=> \tau = \frac{0.490}{  0.028}    

=> \tau = 17.5 \ s

Sheila weighs 60 kg and is riding a bike. Her momentum on the bike is 340 kg • m/s. The bike hits a rock, which stops it complet
Vikki [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 5.7 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

Total\ Initial\ Momentum = m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2}\\

where,

Total Initial Momentum = 340 kg.m/s

m₁ = mass of bike

v₁ = final speed of bike = 0 m/s

m₂ = mass of Sheila = 60 kg

v₂ = final speed of Sheila = ?

Therefore,

340\ kg.m/s = m_{1}(0\ m/s) + (60\ kg)v_{2}\\v_{2} = \frac{340\ kg.m/s}{60\ kg}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s </u>
