vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Match the property of a sound wave to the correct definition. A. amplitude . B. frequency . C. period . D. pitch E. loudness

Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.

A 0.500-nm x-ray photon is deected through 134 in a Compton scattering event. At what angle (with respect to the incident beam)

natita [175]

Answer:

The angle of recoil electron with respect to incident beam of photon is 22.90°.

Explanation:

Compton Scattering is the process of scattering of X-rays by a charge particle like electron.

The angle of the recoiling electron with respect to the incident beam is determine by the relation :

$\cot\phi = (1+\frac{hf}{m_{e}c^{2} })\tan\frac{\theta }{2}$ ....(1)

Here ∅ is angle of recoil electron, θ is the scattered angle, h is Planck's constant, $m_{e}$ is mass of electron, c is speed of light and f is the frequency of the x-ray photon.
