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 wire 3.22 m long and 7.32 mm in diameter has a resistance of 11.9 mΩ. A potential difference of 33.7 V is applied between the
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(a) Current is 2831.93 A

(b) 8.40A/m^2

(c) \rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m

Explanation:

Length of wire l = 3.22 m

Diameter of wire d = 7.32 mm = 0.00732 m

Cross sectional area of wire

A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00366^2=4.20\times 10^{-5}m^2

Resistance R=11.9mohm=11.9\times 10^{-3}ohm

Potential difference V = 33.7 volt

(A) current is equal to

i=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{33.7}{11.9\times 10^{-3}}=2831.93A

(B) Current density is equal to

J=\frac{i}{A}

J=\frac{2831.93}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}=8.40A/m^2

(c) Resistance is equal to

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

11.9\times 10^{-3}=\frac{\rho \times 3.22}{4.20\times 10^{-5}}

\rho =15.52\times 10^{-9}ohm-m

during convection, hot material _____ (expands & sinks, cools & rises, expands & rises, deflates & rises) then m
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.

Explanation:

Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).

Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.

A sound source is moving at 80 m/s toward a stationary listener that is standing in still air (a) Find the wavelength of the sou
Setler [38]

Answer:

a. wavelength of the sound, \vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}

b. observed frequecy, \lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}

Given:

speed of sound source, v_{s} = 80 m/s

speed of sound in air or vacuum, v_{a} = 343 m/s

speed of sound observed, v_{o} = 0 m/s

Solution:

From the relation:

v = \vartheta \lambda        (1)

where

v = velocity of sound

\vartheta = observed frequency of sound

\lambda = wavelength

(a) The wavelength of the sound between source and the listener is given by:

\lambda = \frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta }         (2)

(b) The observed frequency is given by:

\vartheta = \frac{v_{a}}{v_{a} - v_{s}}\vartheta_{o}

\vartheta = \frac{334}{334 - 80}\vartheta_{o}

\vartheta = 1.315\vartheta_{o}                (3)

Using eqn (2) and (3):

\lambda = \frac{334}{1.315} = \frac{1}{1.315}\frac{v_{a}}{\vartheta_{o}}

\lambda = 0.7604\lambda_{o}
