A child does 5.0 J of work on a spring while loading a ball into a spring-loaded toy gun. If mechanical energy is conserved, wha

t will be the kinetic energy of the ball when it leaves the gun?
Physics

Troyanec [42]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the ball when it leaves the gun is equal to 5 J.

Explanation:

It is given that, a child does 5.0 J of work on a spring while loading a ball into a spring-loaded toy gun. We need to find the kinetic energy of the ball when it leaves the gun when the mechanical energy of the system is conserved.

Mechanical energy is equal to the total energy of the system. It remains conserved due to the law of conservation of mechanical energy.

So, the kinetic energy of the ball when it leaves the gun is equal to 5 J. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 2 kg car accelerated from 10 m's to 20 m/s using a force of 3000N. How quickly did it
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

the car accelerates in

\frac{1}{150}  \: or \: 0.006 \: second

Explanation:

here's the solution : -

we know,

=》

force = mass   \times acceleration

=》

acceleration =  \frac{force}{mass}

=》

a  =  \frac{3000}{2}

=》

a = 1500

so, acceleration = 1500 m/s^2

now,

=》

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

here, a = acceleration, v = final velocity,

u = initial velocity, t = time taken.

So,

=》

1500 =  \frac{20 - 10}{t}

=》

1500 =  \frac{10}{t}

=》

t =  \frac{10}{1500}

=》

t = 0.006 \: sec

The work function of an element is the energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the solid. The work function fo
vichka [17]

Answer:

λ = 548.7 nm

Explanation:

Hi!

First we want to know how much energy we need to remove 1 electron from the surface of the solid:

218.1 kJ/mol => 218 100 J / (6.022 x 10^23) electrons

                             = 3.621 x 10^-19 J/electron  

That is we need 3.621 x 10^-19 J to remove one electron

Now we can calculate the wavelength that a photon must have in order to have this energy:

E = (hc) / λ

λ = (hc) / Ε

where

 h = 6,626070150(69) ×10 -34 Js (wikipedia)

 c = 3 x10^8 m/s

hc = 1.987 x 10^-25 Jm

Therefore:

λ = ( 1.987 x 10^-25 /3.621 x 10^-19 ) m = 5.487 x 10^-7 m

λ = 548.7 nm

Well, they are equal and opposite, but the force is high enough to break up the snowball.  That is where the energy is dissipated.
