A child’s toy that is made to shoot ping pong balls consists of a tube, a spring (k = 18 N/m) and a catch for the spring that ca

n be released to shoot the balls. When a ball is loaded into the tube, it compresses the spring 9.5 cm. If you shoot a ping pong ball straight up out of this toy, how high will it go?

Answer:

The height is 3.1m

Explanation:

Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial  energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

E_e=\frac{1}{2}K*x^2\\E_e=\frac{1}{2}18N/m*(9.5*10^{-2}m)^2\\E_e=0.081J

then we have only gravitational potencial energy when the ball is at its maximun height.

E_g=m*g*h

because all the energy was transformed Eg=Ee

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*m}

searching the web, the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 gr in average. so:

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*(2.7*10^{-3}kg)}\\h=3.1m

in an experiment which the volume of dry sand is measured by the displacement of water, the sand was slightly wet to begin with.
Mamont248 [21]
It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.

In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.

So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate <em>less</em> air space.

If you stretch a rubber hose and pluck it, you can observe a pulse traveling up and down the hose.(i) What happens to the speed
Monica [59]

The thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

<h3>What is wage speed?</h3>

It should be noted that wave speed simply means the distance that a wave travels during a particular time.

It should be noted that higher tension leads to an increase in the speed of the wave.

Therefore, the thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

vector ????⃗ has a magnitude of 17.9 and its direction is 80∘ counter‑clockwise from the x- axis. what are the x- and y- compone
Reika [66]

We have vector (17.9*cos80^{0},17.9*sin80^{0})

Therefore,

x component = 17.9 * cos80 degree = 3.108

y component = 17.9 * sin80 degrees = 17.628

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

An object with both magnitude and direction is referred to be a vector. A vector can be visualized geometrically as a directed line segment, with an arrow pointing in the direction and a length equal to the magnitude of the vector. The vector points in a direction from its tail to its head.

If the magnitude and direction of two vectors match, they are the same vector. This shows that if we move a vector to a different location without rotating it, the final vector will be the same as the initial vector. The vectors that denote force and velocity are two examples. The direction of force and velocity are both fixed. The size of the vector would represent the force's strength or the velocity's corresponding speed.

Suppose you increase your walking speed from 7 m/s to 15 m/s in a period of 2 m. What is your acceleration?
likoan [24]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed) = (15 m/s - 7 m/s) = 8 m/s

time for the change = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (120 seconds)

Acceleration = 0.067 m/s²
