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

Light from a fluorescent lamp is observed through a cloud of cool nitrogen gas. Again, two students are having a discussion abou
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

Explanation:

When the fluorescent lamp emits a light it has the shape of its emission spectrum, this light collides with the atoms of Nitrogen and excites it, so these wavelengths disappear, lacking in the spectrum seen by the observed, for which we would see an absorption spectrum

The nitrogen that was exited after a short time is given away in its emission lines, in general there are many lines, so the excitation energy is divided between the different emission lines, which must be weak

From the previous explanation Student No. 1 has the correct explanation

A vertical block-spring system on earth has a period of 6.0 s. What is the period of this same system on the moon where the acce
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

D) 15s

Explanation:

let Te be the period of the block-spring system on earth and Tm be the period of the same system on the moon.let g1 be the gravitational acceleration on earth and g2 be the gravitational acceleration on the moon.

the period of a pendulum is given by:

T = 2π√(L/g)

so on earth:

Te = 2π√(L/g1)

     =  6s

on the moon;

Tm = 2π√(L/g2)

since g2 = 1/6 g1 then:

Tm = 2π√(L/(1/6×g1))

      = √(6)×2π√(L/(g1))

and 2π√(L/(g1)) = Te = 6s

Tm = (√(6))×6 = 14.7s ≈ 15s

Therefore, the period of the block-spring system on the moon is 15s.
