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

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’
scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have \theta=90^\circ. Replacing the given values, we obtain:

F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N

A woman can row her canoe at 2.5 m/s. If she faces an opposing current of 3.0 m/s, how fast will she go forward?
taurus [48]

Answer:

V = - 0.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the principle of relative speeds. This is for an observer who is on the edge of the river he can see how the river moves to the left and the woman tries to move to the right but can not since:

V_{total}=-3+2.5\\V_{total}=-0.5 [m/s]

That is, the person sees how the woman moves to the left but with avelocity of 0.5 [m/s] to the left
