The spring in the muzzle of a child's spring gun has a spring constant of 730 N/m. To shoot a ball from the gun, first the sprin

g is compressed and then the ball is placed on it. The gun's trigger then releases the spring, which pushes the ball through the muzzle. The ball leaves the spring just as it leaves the outer end of the muzzle. When the gun is inclined upward by 31° to the horizontal, a 53 g ball is shot to a maximum height of 1.90 m above the gun's muzzle. Assume air drag on the ball is negligible. (a) At what speed does the spring launch the ball? (b) Assuming that friction on the ball within the gun can be neglected, find the spring's initial compression distance.

Answer:

a. V=11.84 m/s

b.x=0.052m

Explanation:

a).

Given

$K=730 N/m$ , $m=0.053kg$ , $h=1.90m$ .

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2*g*h$

$v_i^2=2*g*h=2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m$

$v_i=\sqrt{2*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}=\sqrt{37.24 m^2/s^2}$

$v_i=6.1 m/s$

$v_i=V*sin(31)$

$V=\frac{v_i}{sin(31)}=\frac{6.1m/s}{sin(31)}$

$V=11.84 m/s$

b).

$K_k=\frac{1}{2}*K*x^2$

No friction on the ball so:

$x^2=\frac{2*K_k}{K}$

$x=\sqrt{\frac{2*0.053kg*9.8m/s^2*1.9m}{730N/m}}$

$x=\sqrt{2.7x10^{-3}m^2}=0.052m$

Two concentric current loops lie in the same plane. The smaller loop has a radius of 3.4 cmcm and a current of 12 AA. The bigger

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in loops are

i1 = 12A

i2 = 20A

The loops are 3.4cm apart

The magnetic field at the center is found to be zero, so when want to find the radius of bigger loop

Magnetic Field is given as

B= μoi/2πr

Where,

μo is a constant = 4π×10^-7 Tm/A

r is the distance between the two wires

i is the current in the wires

B is the magnetic field

NOTE

Field due to large loop should be equal to the smaller loop.

B1 = B2

μo•i1 / 2π•r1 = μo•i2 / 2π•r2

Then, μo, 2π cancels out, so we have

i1 / r1 = i2 / r2

Make r2 subject of formula

i1•r2 = i2•r1

r2 = i2•r1 / i2

r2 = 20×3.4/12

r2 = 5.67cm

The radius of the bigger loop is 5.67cm.

The velocity of the water in the pipe at right is given by V1 = 0.5t m/s and V2 = 1.0t m/s, where t is in seconds. Determine the

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A) At point 1, local acceleration = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, local acceleration = 1.0 m/s²

B) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

Explanation:

Local acceleration at those points is the instantaneous acceleration at those points and it is given as

a = dv/dt

At point 1, v₁ = 0.5 t

a₁ =dv₁/dt = 0.5 m/s²

At point 2, v₂ = 1.0 t

a₂ = dv₂/dt = 1.0 m/s²

b) Average Eulerian convective acceleration over the two points in the cross section shown = (change of velocity between the two points)/time

Change of velocity between the two points = v₂ - v₁ = 1.0t - 0.5t = 0.5 t

Time = t

Average acceleration = 0.5t/t = 0.5 m/s²

This value is positive indicating an increase in velocity and acceleration kf the fluid as the cross sectional Area of flow reduces.

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

A sinusoidal transverse wave of amplitude ym = 8.4 cm and wavelength = 5.3 cm travels on a stretched cord. Find the ratio of the

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The ratio is 9.95

Solution:

As per the question:

Amplitude, $y_{m} = 8.4\ cm$

Wavelength, $\lambda = 5.3\ cm$

Now,

To calculate the ratio of the maximum particle speed to the speed of the wave:

For the maximum speed of the particle:

$v_{m} = y_{m}\times \omega$

where

$\omega = 2\pi f$ = angular speed of the particle

Thus

$v_{m} = 2\pi fy_{m}$

Now,

The wave speed is given by:

$v = f\lambda$

Now,

The ratio is given by:

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi fy_{m}}{f\lambda}$

$\frac{v_{m}}{v} = \frac{2\pi \times 8.4}{5.3} = 9.95$
