Answer:

The spring force constant is  k=243\ \frac{N}{m} .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is m=0.0555\ kg, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is h=0.536\ m,  the length the ball compresses the spring is d=0.04897\ m and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}} .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy E_{mi} is equal to the final mechanical energy E_{mf} :

                                                    E_{mf}=E_{mi}

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

                                                   \frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh

If we manipulate the equation we have that:

                                                    k=\frac{2mgh}{d^{2} }

                                         k=\frac{2\ 0.0555\ kg\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}\ 0.536\ m}{(0.04897)^{2}m^{2}}

                                              k=\frac{0.58306\ \frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}}{2.398x10^{-3}m^{2}}

                                                     k=243\ \frac{N}{m}

A man fires a silver bullet of mass 2g with a velocity of200m/sec into wall. What is the temperature changeof the bullet? Note:
Sphinxa [80]

F=nmv

where;

n=no. of bullets = 1

m=mass of bullets=2g *10^-3

V=velocity of bullets200m/sec

F=1

loss in Kinetic energy=gain in heat energy

1/2MV^2=MS∆t

let M council M

=1/2V^2=S∆t

M=2g

K.E=MV^2/2

=(2*10^-3)(200)^2/2

2 councils 2

2*10^-3*4*10/2

K.E=40Js

H=mv∆t

(40/4.2)

40Js=40/4.2=mc∆t

40/4.2=2*0.03*∆t

=158.73°C
