A 6.0 g marble is fired vertically upward using a spring gun. The spring must be compressed 9.4 cm if the marble is to just reac

h a target 22 m above the marble's position on the compressed spring. (a) What is the change ΔUg in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system during the 22 m ascent? (b) What is the change ΔUs in the elastic potential energy of the spring during its launch of the marble? (c) What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer:

a) \Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J, b) \Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J, c) k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}

Explanation:

a) The change in the gravitational potential energy of the marble-Earth system is:

\Delta U_{g} = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (22\,m)

\Delta U_{g} = 12.945\,J

b) The change in the elastic potential energy of the spring is equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy, then:

\Delta U_{k} = 12.945\,J

c) The spring constant of the gun is:

\Delta U_{k} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot k \cdot x^{2}

k = \frac{2\cdot \Delta U_{k}}{x^{2}}

k = \frac{2\cdot (12.945\,J)}{(0.094\,m)^{2}}

k = 2930.059\,\frac{N}{m}

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o
garri49 [273]

Answer:

P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg

Explanation:

According to given:

  • molecular mass of glycerin, M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}
  • molecular mass of water, M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}
  • ∵Density of water is 0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}
  • ∴mass of water in 316 mL, m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g
  • mass of glycerin, m_g=154\ g
  • pressure of mixture, P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg
  • temperature of mixture, T_x=40^{\circ}C

<em>Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.</em>

<u>moles of water in the given quantity:</u>

n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}

n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}

n_w=17.42 moles

<u>moles of glycerin in the given quantity:</u>

n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}

n_g=\frac{154}{92}

n_g=1.674 moles

<u>Now the mole fraction of water:</u>

X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}

X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}

X_w=0.912

<em>Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.</em>

\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x

\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32

P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th
Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
