A toy gun uses a spring to project a 4.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu

n is 13 cm long, and a constant frictional force of 0.035 N exists between barrel and projectile. With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel if the spring was compressed 5.8 cm for this launch? (Assume the projectile is in contact with the barrel for the full 13 cm.)

Answer:

1.93 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 4.5g = 0.0045kg

Spring constant = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = 13 cm = 0.013m

Frictional force = 0.035N

Compression = 5.8 cm = 0.058m

First, we find the P. E. stored in the spring:

P. E. = ½*k*x²

P. E. = ½ * 8 * 0.058² = 0.013J

Then, we find the work done by the frictional force while the sphere is leaving the barrel of the gun:

Work = Force * distance

The distance here is the length of the barrel.

Work = 0.035 * 0.13 = 0.0046 J

The kinetic energy of the sphere can now be found:

K. E. = P. E. - Work done

K. E. = 0.013 - 0.0046 = 0.0084J

We can now find the speed using the formula for K. E.:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

0.0084 = ½ * 0.0045 * v²

v² = 0.0084/0.00255 = 3.733

=> v = 1.93 m/s

Answer: v = 4.97 m/s

Explanation: mass of spring (m) = 4.5g = 4.5/1000 =0.0045 kg

Spring constant (k) = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = distance traveled when projectile was launched = 13cm = 0.13 m

Frictional force = 0.035 N

Extension (x) = 5.8cm = 0.058 m

Assuming the motion is of a constant acceleration, newton's laws of motion is valid

F - fr = ma

Where F = applied force that propelled the projectile = kx = 8×0.058 = 0.464 N

a = acceleration of object.

By substituting the parameters, we have

0.464 - 0.035 = 0.0045 a

0.429 = 0.0045 a

a = 0.429/0.0045

a = 95.3 m/s²

The bullet started from rest, hence initial velocity (u) equals zero.

To get the final velocity v, we use

v² = u² + 2aS, where S = length of barrel or distance covered by projectile.

v ² = 0² + 2(95.3)(0.13)

v² = 2(95.3)(0.13)

v² = 24.778

v = √24.778

v = 4.97 m/s

If the energies sound in the device is microphone what is the energy out
Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

A bus starts from rest.if the acceleration is 2m/s square, find
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The velocity after 2 seconds can be found through:

V = u +a*t

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

V = 0 + 2* 2= 4 meters/second

The distance (s) can be found through:

V^2= u^2 +2*a* s

Where V is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration.

4^2= 0^2 + 2 *2*s

16= 0 + 4s

s= 4 meters

Distance (s) can also be found through:

s= ut + 1/2 at^2

s= 0+ 1/2 *2*2^2= 1 *2*2

s= 4 meters

which of the four forces makes paint cling to a wall ?which force makes adhesive sticky?which force makes wax to stick a car ?
True [87]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the absence of options.

However, <u>the force that makes a paint cling to a wall is adhesive force</u>. Adhesive force is the force between two unlike substances like a liquid clinging to a solid surface.

The force between adhesives or glue is also the force that makes them sticky. <u>This force is referred to as cohesive force</u>. This is a force found in between similar molecules (unlike adhesive force found between dissimilar molecules).

<u>The force that makes wax to stick to a car is electromagnetic force</u>. This is a force between charged particles; whether they appear to be moving or not. These particles of opposite charges come together to form a neutral force. In this case, charged atoms of the car and the wax come together (which causes what we see as the wax sticking to the car).
