A spring gun is made by compressing a spring in a tube and then latching the spring at the compressed position. A 4.87-g pellet

is placed against the compressed and latched spring. The spring latches at a compression of [04]____________________ cm, and it takes a force of 9.13 N to compress the spring to that point. How much work (J) is done by the spring when the latch is released and the pellet leaves the tube?

Answer:

The work done by the spring is = $0.27 J$

Explanation:

Force = torque × length

Given

F = 9.13 N

length (L) = 5.91 cm = 0.0591 m [Note 1 m = 100 cm ]

considering the formula above

$9.13 = k * 0.0591$ where k denotes torque

$k = 154.48\ N/m$

Energy Stored $= \frac{1}{2} k x^2$

$= \frac{1}{2} * 154.48 * (0.0591)^2$

$= 0.27J$

A small glass bead has been charged to 8.0 nc. what is the magnitude of the electric field 2.0 cm from the center of the bead?

astraxan [27]

<span>Charge of the glass bead Q = 8.0 x 10^-9 C Distance d = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m Coulombs constant K = 8.99 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2 Electric Field E = k x Q / d^2 = 8.99 x 10^9 x 8.0 x 10^-9 / (0.02)^2 E = 71.92 / 0.0004 = 17.98 x 10^4 The electric field is 1.8 x 10^5 N/C</span>

A small hot-air balloon is filled with 1.01×106 l of air (d = 1.20 g/l). as the air in the balloon is heated, it expands to 1.10

lara31 [8.8K]

<span>Volume of air in the balloon 1.01 x 10^6 L
Density of air is 1.20 g/l
Mass = Density X Volume

So mass of the air in the Balloon= ( 1.01 x 10^6) X 1.20 = 1.212 x 10^6 g
As the air is heated, the volume of air in the balloon expands to 1.10x 10^6 L Density= Mass/ voume So the Density of heated air = 1.212 x 10^6/ 1.10x 10^6 = 1.101 g/l The answer is 1.101 g/l.</span>

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s

butalik [34]

Answer:

$m=5.51Kg$

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by $W=mg$ , so we can calculate its mass by doing $m=W/g$ , which for our values is:

$m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg$

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

$W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N$
