A spring gun consists of a spring inside a plastic tube with spring constant, k. The spring can be compressed 20 cm from its equ

ilibrium length. A 100 g hard plastic ball is then loaded into the tube. If the ball is shot directly up and reaches a height of 2 m above the top of the tube, what is the spring constant, k? Ignore air resistance.
A) 98 N/m
B) 20 N/m
C) 12 N/m
D) 25 N/m
E) 390 N/m

Answer: The spring constant is K=392.4N/m

Explanation:

According to hook's law the applied force F will be directly proportional to the extension e produced provided the spring is not distorted

The force F=ke

Where k=spring constant

e= Extention produced

h=2m

Given that

e=20cm to meter 20/100= 0.2m

m=100g to kg m=100/1000= 0.1kg

But F=mg

Ignoring air resistance

assuming g=9.81m/s²

Since the compression causes the plastic ball to poses potential energy hence energy stored in the spring

E=1/2ke²=mgh

Substituting our values to find k

First we make k subject of formula

k=2mgh/e²

k=2*0.1*9.81*2/0.1²

K=3.921/0.01

K=392.4N/m

Un atleta de 70 kg de masa que ha efectuado un salto de altura cae una vez que ha
Allushta [10]

Answer:

a) the elastic force of the pole directed upwards and the force of gravity with dissects downwards

Explanation:

The forces on the athlete are

a) at this moment the athlete presses the garrolla against the floor, therefore it acquires a lot of elastic energy, which is absorbed by the athlete to rise and gain potential energy,

therefore the forces are the elastic force of the pole directed upwards and the force of gravity with dissects downwards

b) when it falls, in this case the only force to act is batrachium by the planet, this is a projectile movement for very high angles

c) When it reaches the floor, it receives an impulse that opposes the movement created by the mat. The attractive force is the attraction of gravity.

The image shows the positions of a car on a roller coaster track. Arrange the cars in order based on their gravitational potenti
RideAnS [48]

Correct order, from lowest potential energy to highest potential energy:

E - C - D - B - A

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the car is given by:

U=mgh

where

m is the car's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

h is the height of the car relative to the ground

In the formula, we see that m and g are constant, so the potential energy of the car depends only on its height above the ground, h. The higher the car from the ground, the larger its potential energy. Therefore, the position with least potential energy will be E, since the height is the minimum. Then, C will have more potential energy, because the car is at higher position, and so on: the position with greatest potential energy is A, because the height of the car is maximum.

You kick a soccer ball off the ground with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of 40° above the horizontal
jeyben [28]

At its maximum height, the ball will have zero vertical velocity, so the ball's velocity at this point is exactly equal to its horizontal velocity.

At any time <em>t</em>, the horizontal component of its velocity is

<em>v</em> = (15 m/s) cos(40°) ≈ 11.49 m/s

so at the highest point of its trajectory, the ball has a velocity of about 11.49 m/s pointed in the positive horizontal direction.
