To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the work theorem for which it is defined as the product of Force and distance. In turn, we will use the energy conservation theorem for which the applied work must be equivalent to the total kinetic energy on the body.

The work is defined as

W = Fd

Here,

F = Force

d = Displacement

Replacing with our values we have that

W = 75*0.2

W = 15J

Now by conservation of energy,

W = KE

W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

15 = \frac{1}{2} (20*10^{-3}kg)(v^2)

Solving for v,

v = 10\sqrt{15}

v = 38.72 \approx 39

Therefore the correct answer is D.

A student made the claim that a 4 gram paintball fired from a paintball gun at 90 m/s could have about the same kinetic energy a
vovikov84 [41]

This question involves the concept of kinetic energy.

The student's claim is "right".

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The energy possessed by a body, by the virtue of its motion is called kinetic energy. Mathematically it is given by the following formula:

K.E =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

  • K.E = Kinetic energy
  • m = mass
  • v = velocity

Therefore,

For the paintball:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(4\ g)(90\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

For the pellet:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(1\ g)(180\ m/s)^2

K.E = 16200 J

Hence, both paintball and pellet will have same kinetic energy. The student is right.

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on hi
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of energy, the potential energy (PE) of the mass at a height of 3.32 m will be transformed into elastic potential energy (EPE) when it falls on the mattress:

PE = EPE

m · g · h = 1/2 k · x²

Where:

m = mass.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

k = spring constant.

x = compression distance

The maximum compression distance is 0.1289 m, then, the maximum elastic potential energy will be the following:

EPE =1/2 k · x²

EPE = 1/2 · 65144 N/m · (0.1289 m)² = 541.2 J

Then, using the equation of gravitational potential energy:

PE = m · g · h =  541.2 J

m =  541.2 J/ g · h

m = 541.2 kg · m²/s² / (9.8 m/s² · 3.32 m)

m = 16.6 kg

The maximum mass that can fall on the mattress without exceeding the maximum compression distance is 16.6 kg.

What is the force of a object that has a mass of 7 kg and an acceleration of 6 m/s/s
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

<h2>42 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 7 kg

acceleration = 6 m/s²

We have

force = 7 × 6 = 42

We have the final answer as

<h3>42 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
