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

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

$= 0.27J$

An insect 5.25 mm tall is placed 25.0 cm to the left of a thin planoconvex lens. The left surface of this lens is flat, the righ

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

(A) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

(B) therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

Explanation:

height of the insect (h) = 5.25 mm = 0.525 cm

distance of the insect (s) = 25 cm

radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞

radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = -12.5 cm (because it is a planoconvex lens with the radius in the direction of the incident rays)

index of refraction (n) = 1.7

(A) we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the image
f = focal length

but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{∞} -\frac{1}{-12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)(0 + \frac{1}{12.5} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

now that we have the focal length we can apply $\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

(B) if the lens is reversed, the radius of curvatures would be interchanged

radius of curvature of the flat left surface (R1) = ∞

radius of curvature of the right surface (R2) = 12.5 cm

we can find the location of the image by applying the formula below

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$ where

s' = distance of the image
f = focal length

but we first need to find the focal length before we can apply this formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(n-1)(\frac{1}{R1} -\frac{1}{R2} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(1.7-1)(\frac{1}{12.5} -\frac{1}{∞} )$

$\frac{1}{f} =(0.7)( \frac{1}{12.5} - 0)$

$\frac{1}{f} =\frac{0.7}{12.5}$

f = $\frac{12.5}{0.7}$

f = 17.9 cm

now that we have the focal length we can apply $\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{s'} +\frac{1}{s}$

$\frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{1}{17.9} - \frac{1}{25}$ =\frac{1}{s'}

$\frac{25 - 17.9}{17.9 x 25} =\frac{1}{s'}$

$\frac{7.1}{447.5} =\frac{1}{s'}$

s' = \frac{447.5}{7.1}[/tex] = 63 cm to the right of the lens

magnification = $\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$ where y' is the height of the image, therefore

$\frac{-s'}{s} =\frac{y'}{y}$

$\frac{-63}{25} =\frac{y'}{52.5}$

y' = $\frac{-63}{25}$ x 0.525 = -13.22 cm

therefore the image is

63 cm to the right of the lens
the image size is -13.22 cm
it is real
it is inverted

The tension in the rope securing the upper pulley and the force that must be applied to keep the system in equilibrium

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a frictionless system with no acceleration, the tension in the rope must be F along its entire length

FBD analysis of the lower pulley has two upward acting tension vectors F and one downward acting weight vector W

2F = W

F = W/2

FBD analysis of the upper pulley has one upward acting support vector T and three downward acting tension vectors F

T = 3F

T = 3(W/2)

T = 1.5W
