Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance during a time t, and object B falls th
UNO [17]

Answer:

Distance covered by B is 4 times distance covered by A

Explanation:

For an object in free fall starting from rest, the distance covered by the object in a time t is

s=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

s is the distance covered

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

- Object A falls through a distance s_A during a time t, so the distance covered by object A is

s_A=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

- Object B falls through a distance s_B during a time 2t, so the distance covered by object B is

s_B=\frac{1}{2}g(2t)^2 = 4(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)=4s_A

So, the distance covered by object B is 4 times the distance covered by object A.
