At the beginning of the 3 sec, its speed is 10 m/s.

Over the course of 3 sec, gravity adds (9.8 x 3) = 29.4 m/s
to its speed, so its speed after 3 sec is (10 + 29.4) = 39.4 m/s.

Its average speed during the 3 sec is

                               (1/2) (10 + 39.4) 

                           =  (1/2) (49.4)  =  24.7 m/s .

In 3 sec, at an average speed of 24.7 m/s,
the rock travels

                     (3) x (24.7) = 74.1 meters.

If there's no air resistance in its path, then it was thrown
from 74.1 meters above the ground.

shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const
Contact [7]

Answer:

a) T=0.40 N

b) T=1.9 s

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

P=2\pi r=0.94

r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17

\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

Tcos(\alpha)=mg (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s

I hope it helps you!

A dart is inserted into a spring-loaded dart gun by pushing the spring in by a distance x. For the next loading, the spring is c
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The second dart leaves the gun two times as faster than the first one.

Explanation:

Assuming no energy loss during the spring-dart energy transfer, we have by the conservation of energy principle

U_s = K_d \\ \frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2}.

Given an arbitrary x and its double, 2x, launch velocities are

v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} \text{ and} \\ v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}\left(2x\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}4x^2} = 2\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} = \mathbf{2v_1}.
