A Red Rider bb gun uses the energy in a compressed spring to provide the kinetic energy for propelling a small pellet of mass 0.

27 grams. By cocking the lever attached to the stock of the rifle, the spring (k = 1800 N/m) is compressed 8.5 cm from its equilibrium point.
Required:
a. What is the potential energy energy stored in the compressed spring?
b. What is the kinetic energy of the pellet when the spring is released?

Answer:

a.6.5025 J

b.6.5025 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of pellet,m=0.27 g=0.27\times 10^{-3} kg

1 kg=1000 g

Spring constant,k=1800 N/m

x=8.5 cm=8.5\times 10^{-2} m

1m=100 cm

a.Potential energy stored in the compressed spring  is given by

P.E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

P.E=\frac{1}{2}(1800)(8.5\times 10^{-2})^2

P.E=6.5025 J

b.By using law of conservation of energy

P.E of spring=K.E of the pellet

K.E of the pellet=6.5025 J

Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container?
Ludmilka [50]

C. Both A. and B.

Explanation:

Statement A. Reducing the volume is true because of Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at fixed temperature, the pressure p and the volume V are inversely proportional:

pV=const.

Therefore, when the volume V is reduced, the pressure p increases.

Statement B. Adding more gas is also true: in fact, if we add gas into the container, we will have more molecules of the gas hitting the wall of the container. But the pressure of a gas is exactly given by this: by the collision of the molecules against the wall of the container, so the more the molecules of gas, the greater the pressure.

Explain how you can use the factors of production to produce a fruit juice in a production company
frozen [14]

Answer:

The factors of production include Land, Labour, Capital and Enterpreneurship

Explanation:

The fruit could be apple, orange , pineapple etc which are usually grown on land . They are tended to by people to ensure there is maximum yield. These people provide the required labour needed.

The cost of planting and payment of workers usually comes from the capital which is often used in running the business by the owner which makes certain decisions to ensure the fruit company is in place. All these factors work hand in hand to ensure production of fruit in a production company is possible.

solution:

radius of steel ball(r)=5cm=0.05m

density of ball =8000kgm

terminal velocity(v)=25m/s^2

density of air( d) =1.29 kgm

now

volume of ball(V)=4/3pir^3=1.33×3.14×0.05^3=0.00052 m^3

density of ball= mass of ball/Volume of ball

or, 8000=m/0.00052

or, m=4.16 kg

weight of the ball (W)= mg=4.16×10=41.6 N

viscous force(F)=6 × pi × eta × r × v

=6×3.14×eta×0.05×25

=23.55×eta

To attain the terminal velocity,

Fiscous force=Weight

or, 23.55× eta = 41.6

or, eta = 1.76

whete eta is the coefficient of viscosity.
