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}

An adiabatic nozzle has an inlet area of 1 m^2 and an outlet area of 0.25 m^2. Water enters the nozzle at a rate of 5 m^3/s and
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

v=20m/S

p=-37.5kPa

Explanation:

Hello! This exercise should be resolved in the next two steps

1. Using the continuity equation that indicates that the flow entering the nozzle must be the same as the output, remember that the flow equation consists in multiplying the area by the speed

Q=VA

for he exitt

Q=flow=5m^3/s

A=area=0.25m^2

V=Speed

solving for V

V=\frac{Q}{A} \\V=\frac{5}{0.25} =20m/s

velocity at the exit=20m/s

for entry

V=\frac{5}{1} =5m/s

2.

To find the pressure we use the Bernoulli equation that states that the flow energy is conserved.

\frac{P1}{\alpha } +\frac{v1^2}{2g} =\frac{P2} {\alpha } +\frac{v2^2}{2g}

where

P=presure

α=9.810KN/m^3 specific weight for water

V=speed

g=gravity

solving for P1

(\frac{p1}{\alpha } +\frac{V1^2-V2^2}{2g})\alpha  =p2\\(\frac{150}{9.81 } +\frac{5^2-20^2}{2(9.81)})9.81  =p2\\P2=-37.5kPa

the pressure at exit is -37.5kPa

What is the wavelength of a 6.00*10^2 Hz sound wave in air at 20C
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Solution

λ=v/n

Here, v=344 m s−1

n=22 MHz =22×106 Hz

λ=344/22×106=15.64×10−6m=15.64μm.

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).
