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 making the determination that bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon, the criminalist would us
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Comparison Microscope

Explanation:

The Comparison Microscope allows for comparison between two objects or samples by placing them side by side.

It is primarily used in criminology for ballistics which makes it ideal to find out if bullets, shells, or cartridge cases were fired from a specific weapon.

Suppose a certain car supplies a constant deceleration of A meter per second per second. If it is traveling at 90km/hr. When. th
aksik [14]

Answer:

i)-6.25m/s

ii)18 metres

iii)26.5 m/s or 95.4 km/hr

Explanation:

Firstly convert 90km/hr to m/s

90 × 1000/3600 = 25m/s

(i) Apply v^2 = u^2 + 2As...where v(0m/s) is the final speed and u(25m/s) is initial speed and also s is the distance moved through(50 metres)

0 = (25)^2 + 2A(50)

0 = 625 + 100A....then moved the other value to one

-625 = 100A

Hence A = -6.25m/s^2(where the negative just tells us that its deceleration)

(ii) Firstly convert 54km/hr to m/s

In which this is 54 × 1000/3600 = 15m/s

then apply the same formula as that in (i)

0 = (15)^2 + 2(-6.25)s

-225 = -12.5s

Hence the stopping distance = 18metres

(iii) Apply the same formula and always remember that the deceleration values is the same throughout this question

0 = u^2 + 2(-6.25)(56)

u^2 = 700

Hence the speed that the car was travelling at is the,square root of 700 = 26.5m/s

In km/hr....26.5 × 3600/1000 = 95.4 km/hr
