A toy gun uses a spring with a force constant of 285 N/m to propel a 9.5-g steel ball. Assuming the spring is compressed 7.6 cm

and friction is negligible, answer the following questions: (a) How much force is needed to compress the spring? (b) To what maximum height can the ball be shot? (c) At what angles above the horizontal may a child aim to hit a target 3.00 m away at the same height as the gun? (d) What is the gun's maximum range on level ground?

Answer:

a) F = 21.7 N , b)  h = 8.84 m , c)   θ = 58.5º  d)  R = 15.75 m

Explanation:

a) Hook's law is

    x = 7.6 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.076 m

    m = 9.5 g (1 kg / 1000g) = 9.5 10-3 kg

    F = K x

    F = 285 0.076

    F = 21.7 N

b) We use energy conservation

   Eo = Ke = ½ kx²

   Ef = U = mg h

   Eo = Ef

   ½ k x² = mg h

    h = ½ k x² / mg

    h = ½ 285 0.076² / 9.5 10⁻³ 9.8

    h = 8.84 m

c) Let's calculate the speed with which it leaves the gun

   Ke = K

   ½ k x² = ½ m v²

   v = √ (k/m x²)

   v = √( 285 / 9.5 10-3 0.076²)

   v = 13.16 m / s

    v₀ = v = 13.16 m/s

As we have the horizontal distance we can calculate the travel time

    x = vox t

    t = vox / x

    t = vo cos θ / x

    t = 13.16 cos θ / 3

    t = 4.39 cos θ

    y = v_{oy}t - ½ g t²

    0 = vo sin θ t-1/2 9.8 t²

    0 = 13.16 sin  θ t-4.9t²

    0 = 13.16 sin  θ (4.39 cos  θ) - 4.9 (4.39 cos θ)²

    0 = 57.78 sin θ cos θ - 94.43 cos² θ

    0 = 57.78 sin θ - 94.43 cos θ

    tan  θ = 94.43 / 57.78

     θ = 58.5º

d) The range maximum  is

    R = vo² sin 2θ / g

    R = 13.16² sin 2 58.5 /9.8

    R = 15.75 m

A backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00m is filled to depth 1.50m. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150
Mashutka [201]

The pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float is 106.103 Pa.

<h3>What is absolute pressure?</h3>

Absolute pressure is the force that exists in a space when there is no matter present, or when there is a perfect vacuum. This absolute zero serves as the baseline for measurements in absolute pressure. The measurement of barometric pressure is the greatest illustration of an absolute referenced pressure. In order to determine absolute pressure, a complete vacuum is used. In contrast, gauge pressure is the amount of pressure that is measured in relation to atmospheric pressure, also referred to as barometric pressure.

given,

diameter = 6 m

depth = h = 1.5 m

Atmospheric pressure = P₀ = 10⁵ Pa

a) absolute pressure

P = P₀ + ρ g h

P = 10⁵ + 1000 x 10 x 1.5

P = 1.15 x 10⁵ Pa

b) When two person enters into the pool,

mass of the two person = 150 Kg

weight of water level displaced exists equal to the weight of person.

\rho \mathrm{Vg}=2 \mathrm{mg} \\

V=\frac{2 m}{\rho} \\

V=\frac{2 \times 150}{1000} \\

\mathrm{~V}=0.3 \mathrm{~m}^3

Area of pool $=\frac{\pi}{4} d^2$

&=\frac{\pi}{4} \times 6^2 \\

&=28.27 \mathrm{~m}^2

Height of the water rise

h &=\frac{V}{A} \\

h &=\frac{0.3}{28.27} \\

& \mathrm{~h}=0.0106 \mathrm{~m}

  • Pressure increased

P = ρ g h

P = 1000 x 10 x 0.0106

P = 106.103 Pa

A .140kg baseball traveling 35.0m/s strikes the catchers mit bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward 11.0cm what’s the avera
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Average force applied by the call on the glove = 780 N

Explanation:

mass of baseball=0.140 kg

initial velocity = Vi= 35 m/s

Final velocity=Vf= 0

distance traveled=11 cm= 0.11 m

using the kinematic equation Vf²= Vi²+ 2 a d

where a = acceleration

0²= 35²+ 2 a (0.11)

a=-5568.2 m/s²

Now force is given by F= ma

F= 0.140 (5568.2)

F=-780 N

The negative sign signifies that the force acts in the opposite direction.

so the average force= 780 N

I would like help with this physics problem
Darina [25.2K]

(a) This is a freefall problem in disguise - when the ball returns to its original position, it will be going at the same speed but in the opposite direction. So the ball's final velocity is the negative of its initial velocity.

Recall that

v_f=v_i+at

We have v_f=-v_i, so that

-2v_i=at\implies-2\left(8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)=\left(-2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t\implies t=8\,\mathrm s

(b) The speed of the ball at the start and at the end of the roll are the same 8 m/s, so the average speed is also 8 m/s.

(c) The ball's average velocity is 0. Average velocity is given by \dfrac{v_i+v_f}2, and we know that v_f=-v_i.

(d) The position of the ball x_f at time t is given by

x_f=x_i+v_it+\dfrac12at^2

Take the starting position to be the origin, x_i=0. Then after 6 seconds,

x_f=\left(8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(-2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)^2=42\,\mathrm m

so the ball is 42 m away from where it started.

We're not asked to say in which direction it's moving at this point, but just out of curiosity we can determine that too:

x_f-x_i=\dfrac{v_i+v_f}2t\implies42\,\mathrm m=\dfrac{8\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+v_f}2(6\,\mathrm s)\implies v_f=6\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

Since the velocity is positive, the ball is still moving up the incline.

which of these best explains why the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are attracted to CI ions in sodium chloride
matrenka [14]
The oxygen has more electronegativity (3.44), making hydrogen more 'positive'. Hydrogen will be attracted to Cl since it is more 'negative'. Electronegativity(EN) of H is 2.2 whereas Cl has EN of 3.16
