Answer:
(C) 40m/s
Explanation:
Given;
spring constant of the catapult, k = 10,000 N/m
compression of the spring, x = 0.5 m
mass of the launched object, m = 1.56 kg
Apply the principle of conservation of energy;
Elastic potential energy of the catapult = kinetic energy of the target launched.
¹/₂kx² = ¹/₂mv²
where;
v is the target's velocity as it leaves the catapult
kx² = mv²
v² = kx² / m
v² = (10000 x 0.5²) / (1.56)
v² = 1602.56
v = √1602.56
v = 40.03 m/s
v ≅ 40 m/s
Therefore, the target's velocity as it leaves the spring is 40 m/s
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
Deductive reasoning
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
The process of using pre-existing knowledge to make logical conclusions, make predictions and draw out explanations is called reasoning. Reasoning are basically of two types:
i. Deductive reasoning: This takes a general rule, idea, or theory as foundation and then proceeds from there to draw meaningful conclusions or predictions. For example;
<em> If a = 3 ----------------(i)</em>
<em> And b = 5 ----------------(ii)</em>
<em> Then 2a + 4b = 26 -------------(iii)</em>
From above, following from equations (i) and (ii), it can be concluded that (iii) should be true.
ii. Inductive reasoning: While deductive reasoning moves from a general rule to specific rule, inductive reasoning does the opposite - moves from specific to a general rule.
Answer:12,352 cal
Explanation:
Given
to change 16 gm ice at 
First we need to take ice to 
then change its state to water and then raises water temperature from 0 to 
.
After it change water phase to steam and then raise its temperature to 
+
