Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 7.2 Problems Using Mechanical Energy II. The Great Sandini is a 60.0-kg circ

us performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). You don’t find many men of his caliber, so you help him design a new gun. This new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 N/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 N. The inside of the gun barrel is coated with Teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 N during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. At what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?

Answer:

v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation a little, we have a compressed spring so it has an elastic energy that will become part kinetic energy and a potential part for the man to get out of the barrel, in addition there is a friction force that they perform work against the movement.  So the variation of mechanical energy is equal to the work of the fictional force

    W_{fr} = ΔEm = Em_{f} -Em₀

Let's write the mechanical energy at each point

Initial

    Em₀ = Ke = ½ k x²

Final

   Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v² + mg y

Let's use Hooke's law to find compression

    F = - k x

    x = -F / k

    x = 4400/1100

    x = - 4 m

Let's write the energy equation

    fr d = ½ m v² + mgy - ½ k x²

Let's clear the speed

   v² = (fr d + ½ kx² - mg y) 2 / m

   v² = (40 4.00 + ½ 1100 4² - 60.0 9.8 2.50)   2/60.0

   v² = (160 + 8800 - 1470) / 30

   v = √ (229.66)

   v = 15.8 m/s

To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

64 J

Explanation:

The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.

Now W = ∫F.dx

So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)

∆U = - ∫-Fdx

=  ∫F.dx

Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U =  ∫₀²F.dx

=  ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx

=  ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)

=  ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)

=  ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)

= [20x² - 2x³]₀²

= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)

= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))

= [80 - 16 - 0]

= 64 J

Identify the correct sequence for the formation and use of coal.
Zanzabum

The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;

The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.
