Answer:
k = 773.64 N/m
Explanation:
Given:
mass of the pellet, m = 3.56 x 10² kg
Compression in spring, x = 6.61 × 10⁻² m
Height of rise of the pellet, h = 4.83 m
Now, let k be the spring constant
From the concept of conservation of energy, we get
gravitation potential energy acquired by the pellet will be from the energy provided by the spring
thus,
where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity
on substituting the values, we get
or
1.685 = .002178 × k
k = 773.64 N/m
Answer:
Explanation:
check attached image for figure, there is supposed to be a figure for this question containing a distance(height of collar at position A) but i will assume 0.2m or 200mm
Consider the energy equilibrium of the system
Here, F is the force acting on the collar, is the height of the collar at position A, m is the mass of the collar C, g is the acceleration due to gravity,
is the velocity of the collar at position B, and
is the velocity of the collar at A
Substitute 14.4N for F, 0.2m for , 1.5kg for m,
for g and 0 for
Therefore, the velocity at which the collar strikes the end B is 4.412m/s
