Answer:
The maximum length during the motion is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass is
The vertical spring length is
The unstretched length is
The initial speed is
The new length of the spring
The spring constant k is mathematically represented as
Where F is the force applied
y is the difference in weight which is
The negative sign is because the displacement of the spring (i.e its extension occurs against the force F)
Now substituting values accordingly
The elastic potential energy is given as
where D is this the is the displacement
Since Energy is conserved the total elastic potential energy would be
Substituting value accordingly
So to obtain total length we would add the unstretched length
So we have
Answer:
a
The height is
b
The horizontal distance is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The speed is
The angle is
The height of the cannon from the ground is h = 2 m
The distance of the net from the ground is k = 1 m
Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
Generally from kinematic equation
Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as
s = [-(h-k)]
=> s = -(2-1)
=> s = -1 m
There reason why s = -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half
a = -g = -9.8
So
=>
using quadratic formula to solve the equation we have
Generally distance covered along the horizontal is
=>
=>
